Readers often ask about the models on my book covers. Do I get to choose the models? Not at all. Do I get to go to the photo shoots? I wish! Do I at least get to know what they look like from the front? Only because my fabulous editor shares behind-the-scenes pics with me. I posted my fave pics from the Keep Holding On photo shoot for you here. That last one still makes my record skip. Don’t you love how he leans? A total Jordan Catalano moment.
You can imagine how thrilled I was when he emailed me. Not only do I know his name and number (for reals), but now I can show you what he looks like. Score.
Ryan Haagen is our cover boy. He was so sweet to get in touch with me. I know you guys really wanted to see what he looked like, so I asked for some pics. Well hello:
Ryan also shared these memories from the photo shoot:
The shoot was an absolute blast and I loved working with my friend from high school Deana! She was great to work with and did a unreal job with this cover! Getting ready for the shoot, I had to get a my haircut but nothing crazy. We worked hard on getting the right picture for the cover in hopes that you would totally love it! The photographer was a blast and she was so nice which just made this even more fun! Me and Deana ended up laughing a bunch, and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to do this cover and I truly hope you love it in every way!!!Â
Affirmative on the love, Ryan. Thanks for bringing this cover to life!
so coool
Oh yes.
I see why he got chosen as the cover boy đ
Oh Susane, this is part of the reason why I want to be a writer later in life– the models that make you go weak in the knees đ
Don’t you love it? đ
LOVE it. It’s incredibly fun when I get to see the models’ faces. I seem to always picture them looking way differently!
Uh, yeah. He’s a cutie. And these “real” photos of him just make his cover-personna fit the book that much better. To me anyway … So fun! Glad you shared đ
It was very cool of him to share a real pic. Cute boys who don’t take themselves too seriously are even more adorable đ
He is a cutie! more like dorm wall full of very attractive male models worthy! =) i wonder if there is a posters or pictures of him in a magazine somewhere =)
There probably are! Maybe try Googling him and see what you can find?
I could probably stare for hours without getting bored….MAN. Haha!
Copy that.
He’s a cutie. Thanks for sharing! Question: Will you be posting more of these? I’d really like to see the male model for Something Like Fate. That cover is amazing.
Oh, that boy is gorgeous. My editor didn’t give me behind-the-scenes photos of the Something Like Fate cover shoot, but I will try to get some!
Thank you so much! I would truly appreciate it. đ Thanks for always being such an inspiring author!
