RomFan Reviews would like to thank Ann Mayburn for stopping
by to promote her new book, Captive Fantasy, the second installment in the
Institute for Women's Sexual Satisfaction series. Ann is a veteran romance
writer with many series to her name.
And, I would like to introduce a special guest, John Quinlan, who is the
handsome man who dons an orange jumpsuit on the cover of the latest installment
of IWSS. John, a former American bodybuilder and fitness, fashion and art
model, is accompanying Ann on her blog tours.
We appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to talk with
us.
Have you always written erotica or when did you transition
from vanilla to kink?
From the moment I wrote my first book, Blessed, I was sure I
didn't want to write stories where the door closes on the bedroom and we don't
know what happens inside. That is lame. ;) [;)] There is so much that happens
between two people emotionally involved during sex, especially for women, so to
not show that growth and how it changes the relationship just didn't make sex.
As far as kink, one man's kink is another man's vanilla. I
try to show that liking kinky things doesn't make you a pervert, it makes you
human.
What was your inspiration for IWSS?
My real life friends being paralyzed with embarrassment at
the thought of ever talking to their partners about their sexual fantasies.
What if I took these everyday men and women and put them into a situation where
they had to tell their mate their deepest, darkest secret sexual fantasies. And
what if as a reward for their bravery they get to live that fantasy out with
their lover?
It is my hope that women will read these stories and find
the courage to ask their hunka hunka burning love to indulge their dreams and
desires. And if that doesn't work I hope they read a Tales of the IWSS story
before bedtime and jump their man. ;) [;)]
Do you feel motivated by fan reviews to strive to outdo
yourself with each new book?
Of course! I love love love connecting with my fans. Nothing
thrills me more than hearing from them about how book XXX made them laugh and
blush. It really is an amazing feeling to know that you are bringing people
happiness. For me, that's what writing romance is about, the happily ever after
for my characters and my fans.
And now for some Q&A time with our handsome guest, John
Quinlan. John adorns the cover of Captive Fantasy wearing a sexy
orange jumpsuit as character Sean.
Was it difficult to evolve into a cover art model from the
world of fitness modeling?
It was not difficult in the sense that with both one has to
be comfortable with their body. When one does enough photo shoots as I have it
becomes second nature to just go out there and do the job. I will say romance
cover model is a bit more challenging with a female than in the fitness world
in that I have to be a bit erotic with her and if I am lacking confidence the
shoot just won’t work so a bit of yes and no there.
Which do you prefer
fitness modeling or cover art?
I like them both equally. Naturally fitness related stuff
comes naturally to me because that is what I have known all my life but the
sense I get when I see the finished proofs of a good romance novel shoot for
covers gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. As I have matured as an
adult romance is something I now enjoy as if you asked me this 10 years ago I
would be like, “romance novel cover…yeah right!”
Have you read any of the books that you adorn the cover of?
No, ha ha ha! Usually not but sometimes my curiosity gets
the best of me and I give and all along I am saying to myself, “if it wasn’t
for amazing writers like you, guys like me would never find work.”
Us, here at RomFan would like to thank you both for taking
the time away from your families to promote Captive Fantasy and become part of
our family. Ann, please continue to write such wickedly sinful stories for your
adoring fans. John, we wish you continued success in modeling and body
building. Please come back and visit
anytime.
