Living the Fantasy with John Quinlan



John Quinlan enhances readers' fantasies as he graces delicious book covers. 
The tattooed body creates an image of a bad boy or dangerous cop;
a confident protector of those he loves. 
The chiseled face is that of a powerful warrior.
The sculpted planes of his chest and abs make one's fingers itch to caress.

Let's continue our interview....

Mary: I’m sure you’ve traveled plenty. What’s your favorite place to visit? How about the most romantic place you’ve ever been?

John: Las Vegas is my favorite as the atmosphere is second to none. There are so many romantic places and I couldn’t name just one but anything in the Caribbean is right up there. A warm night on a Caribbean balcony is a perfect setting.  

 

Mary: I enjoyed Vegas and used it as the setting in my book, Handcuffs & Silk. But I have to agree there is something special about the Caribbean. If you were stuck on a deserted island, what would be the three things you’d want to have with you? 

John: My beautiful lady

A spear so I could catch fish and never run out of food.

Clean underwear, ha ha ha!

Mary: Oh, honey… I don’t think you’d need underwear.  Just make do with some leaves or a loincloth like Tarzan... sorry, my mind drifted. What is your idea of the perfect romantic evening?

John: I think atmosphere is key. I know it sounds cliché but anything great can happen in a nice setting with some candles in the evening. You can figure out the rest.

 

Mary: I emphasize the use of candles quite often. They are a key (cheap and simple) component to romance.

You already have accomplished so much in life. What is next?

John: I live for the day Mary.

My acting debut as hit man Beckett Taylor in Debra Anastasia’s Return to Poughkeepsie came out on 12.30.13.

Mary: Very exciting and you get to be the bad guy with the heart of gold! 
What a credit to your reputation to be a part of something so grand.

 

John: Thank you God for blessing me with this honor!

In the next few months I will have a few model shoots and physique competitions.
Followed up by the 2014 RT Booklovers Convention in New Orleans where I will be appearing as an official featured Cover Model Man of Romance May 13-18^th. 

 I was selected as a lead actor in Jillian Bullock’s film ‘A Sense of Purpose – Fighting for Our Lives’ which is set to start filming in June.

Mary: Wowza! You are one busy fella! We will have fun following your career. Thanks again for sitting through my questions. You are truly a genuine guy!

John: Much love and respect for you always Mary. Thank you for interviewing me as it was my pleasure.

Monday Mojo - Drool worthy cover art



More and more romance writers are creating tattooed heroes
thus putting a demand on cover designers to create the visual.

Cover featuring popular model, John Quinlan

 

To illustrate John Quinlan would be to paint a picture involving some athletics, professional wrestling, fitness and modeling. He’s been an image model for dozens of apparel brands around the world over the years, along with appearing in television documentaries, commercials, art gallery print work and many book covers. AND NOW carries the title of The World’s Most Tattooed Cover Model.

Regarding the tattoos, John says:  
I just don’t get a tattoo because I want to get it on the spur of the moment. I have put lots of time and thought into each and every piece. I do have one that is very low on my left abdomen which is very close to the “goods” which is the Oriental Kanji symbol for ‘Courage’. Courage, front and center, is very important and this is why it is placed front and center on my body.
 

“John, is an example that tattooed bald guys can be sexy.”   – Margie Church, Best Selling Author

Monday Mojo - Coffee Please

Ugh.
That's all I can say. All the food from the holiday. I am going to do a serious detox to cleanse my body because it does not like me right now.

Ack!
That's what I say about having all three boys home for a four day weekend. (The first without football.) How am I going to survive Christmas break?

Argh!
I HAVE to get the last chapter done for Eagle Dance.

Grrrrr!
The weather sucks.

Coffee?
No I haven't had my cup yet. Sure could use one, thanks.
