Gustavo, model for SEAL's Promise, talks with Sharon Hamilton

I was thrilled to be able to interview Gustavo, who is the cover model for SEAL's Promise. I think he makes a wonderful T.J! I hope you enjoy discovering more about Gustavo. Here's his interview.....

1. What name do you liked to be called?

G: Gustavo

SH: Goes well with your photograph. (I blush).

2. How long have you been modeling? Print or commercial? Are you also an actor?

G: I’ve been modeling for 8 years, I started late . Both print, commercial and some acting, but my real passion is writing.

SH: Now I want to see all his photos, don’t you?

3. Where do you live?

G: Right now I live in Barcelona, Spain

SH: Lovely city. Great choice.

4. What is your most favorite thing to do on a rainy night?

G: Movies at home, preferably in good company. (And some wine to go with)

SH: Exactly my kind of evening. A little fireplace, cozy blankets, some snuggling. Listening to the rain is one of my all-time favorite things to do too.

5. What is your most favorite thing to do on a sunny spring day?

G: Surfing or simply sitting down and enjoying a day at the beach

SH: Perfect answer.

6. What’s your idea of a romantic date?

G: The most casual the better, it’s all about the connection. Sitting down in a park or at a beach and getting to know each other. Some wine could be nice too! Red please!

SH: Awesome. You are down-to-earth. Love it. Make it real.

7. Red or white wine? Any particular favorites?

G: Haha… I guess I already answered that… Red. I like several, but there is an Italian one called Primitivo from Minini which I really like.

SH: So I did a little checking, and you can buy that wine online, for those of you who wish to partake of Gustavo’s favorite wine: Primitivo Wine Online.

8. Favorite beer?

G: Stella Artois

SH: Great choice.

9. When you go shopping, what can you not live without?

G: Protein! (eggs, chicken, meat, etc)

SH: Didn’t figure you for a vegetarian…

10. What’s your favorite form of entertainment?

G: Traveling for sure, first place. Followed by TV and movies

SH: Love it.

11. If you could live anywhere, where would that be?

G: Barcelona

SH: Ah! I have to agree. I love the Gaudi cathedral. Who can forget the Costa Brava? Some of the best beaches in the world. In fact, I know a young couple who honeymooned there and got robbed by Gypsies. (another story).

12. If you could do anything in life (job-wise), what would you do?

G: Screenwriter

SH: We’ll have to ask what genre next time, if we get lucky. {{{another writer}}}

13. Where is one place you’ve always wanted to visit?

G: An island in Brazil called Fernando de Noronha

SH: I think I’m in love. Looks like a great place. Thanks for the tip. Now I have to learn to surf…

14. Who would you talk to if you could talk to anyone?

I would like to talk to Osiris from Egyptian mythology

SH: King of the Afterlife. Interesting choice.

Sundays With Sharon: Interview Cover Model Justin Thomas

Recently, at the Romance Novel Convention in Las Vegas, I met my new book cover model, Justin Thomas.  Justin was quick to work with me and he is already on the cover of my recent release, SEAL's Goal.  For today's Sundays with Sharon, I decided to interview Justin and share that interview with you all!

[caption id="attachment_1387" align="alignright" width="231"] SEAL's Goal[/caption]

Me- Tell me the funniest thing that has happened to you during a photo shoot.

Justin- Its probably a tie between the time I was doing a shoot next to a swimming pool and the photographer was backing up and fell into the pool, and the time I was doing a shoot for a western company. I was shooting next to a horse and the horse was getting a little too excited being in front of the camera. The horse finally calmed down, but then decided it would be a good thing to relieve himself.

Me- Do you ever get turned on while modeling with a pretty girl?

Justin -No, shoots are kept very professional. Don't get me wrong, I have shot with some beautiful people but being  a professional and getting the best shots possible are the priority. Everyone on set typically has a good time as well.

Me-  What do you think of when the photographer looks right into your eyes?

Justin -Typically the photographers are looking through a lens so there is not a

[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="202"] Meet Justin![/caption]

lot of looking into my eyes. But its kind of awkward when it happens, or when you have to look into another models eyes for an extended period of time. A lot of time it results into nervous laughter. Im pretty good at staring contests so playing the no blinking game makes the situation a little easier, or looking at the persons forehead makes is a little less weird.

Me- Are you thinking of a message to get that wonderful look?

Justin -Depending on what you are trying to portray in the photo determines on what you are thinking during the shoot. Sometimes its like acting and you have to mentally put yourself in a mindset to portray a "look" to the camera. It takes time but once you get warmed up and some direction about the desired message, its pretty fun pretending to be someone/something else.

Me-  What do you like about being a professional model?

Justin -I love all the people and places I get to experience. You don't work with the same people on a regular basis so every job is new and exciting. You never know what the day will have in store. Plus the food at shoots are typically amazing, and I love to eat.

Me- Does your partner ever get jealous?

Justin-I am single

Me- How did you come to begin modeling?

Justin-Was helping a friend who was a beginning photographer build his portfolio. The photos turned out pretty good and he suggested to go to some open calls at several agencies in San Francisco. I went with a friend and we both got signed by a modeling agency. Kind of just took off from there.

Me- What's on your bucket list? (Life experience/then professional experience).

Justin- Life experience= Travel the world, sky dive, bungee jump, go to a Super Bowl, Visit every state, become a scratch golfer, have a family/kids, learn some cooking techniques by a celebrity chef, run a marathon, I can go on for days.

-professional= start my own business, invest in real estate, retire at a young age, start a romance novel stock photo site, buy my parents a vacation home.

Me- What's it like hanging around a bunch of crazy romance writers?

Justin- I love it, everyone is so fun, kind, and easy to talk to. I am typically a shy person but I found it extremely easy to open up and have a great time with the authors. I feel extremely grateful to have been introduced to the amazing people in this industry and I hope to maintain the relationships that have been created.

Thanks so much for interviewing with me Justin!  It was so great meeting you at RNC, and I know my readers love your pictures, I'm sure they appreciate getting to know you more as well.  

Well readers, what do you think of Justin Thomas?  What kind of book cover would you like to see him on next?  And remember single ladies, Justin is single!  

You can learn more about Justin and follow him on Facebook

Thank you for joining me this week for Sundays With Sharon!
