Alexa Spagnoli was born in a small town in Michigan. She grew up in a private beach community on the shores of Lake Erie. After moving briefly to Detroit, she went to Las Vegas and began a whirlwind of a life. Her skill set and connections led her to become, a bookie, a model, a business owner and finally, owner of an Event Planning company. In Las Vegas, the glittering Entertainment Capital of the World, a seedy, high-price world of lust, booze, drugs and depravity seethed just below the neon facade and, in the Eighties, Alexa was part of that scene. Living with a Mafia associate, partying till dawn and enjoying the fruits of her labors.

Through the decades, as Vegas morphed from sophisticated adult amusements, to family-friendly in the Eighties and early Nineties, to “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” in the 2000s, Alexa morphed along with it, finding opportunities to flourish. Las Vegas became the biggest tourist attraction in the US and the money and opportunities got bigger. As the Mafia was run out of town by the Nevada Gaming Commission, she transitioned to Event Planning, utilizing her contacts to become a legitimate success in convention-rife Las Vegas.
Her experiences color her gripping prose, lending authenticity and richness to her storytelling. In her spare time Alexa enjoys reading, hiking, cooking and fine wine.
