Good morning everyone! I know, why so
peppy on a Monday? Well, it was a really good weekend. I got to show off the
new book cover for Invicta: Sanctuary on Friday night at the cover reveal event
on Facebook. Both book one and two are sitting on the sexiest book cover
list-woo! Just been a great couple of days and today, I have a surprise. A visitor
on the blog that I always ignore. Wait, I don't ignore the visitor, just the
blog. Hahaha!
The model who graces the front cover of
Invicta: Sanctuary, Mickey Taylor, stopped by to do a Q & A session. We're
also having a little giveaway. An e-book copy of Invicta: Salvation &
bookmark set. How do you win? Simple, just comment on the blog. I'll announce
the winner on Tuesday.
I want to thank you to Mickey for
taking the time out of his schedule to answer some questions for us. He's been
awesome, seriously. He stopped by the cover reveal Friday night to say hello to
everyone several times, sent us a few pictures, and even made a Skype call,
which I wasn't expecting at all. He's a total sweetheart. So here we go.
Where
are you from? I'm
from Colchester Essex.
Tell
us your favorite book and/or TV show? Right
now, it's by far Game of Thrones and Orange is the new black.
Favorite
food or drink? It's
no secret, I'm obsessed with jelly babies. Haha! The sweet and the cocktail. Haha!
When
did you start modeling?
I started modeling eleven years ago, but only really started in porn around six
months ago
Were
you nervous? Not
at all. I worked with a really incredible model, Billy Reuben's. He was really
friendly and really nice to me. He made me feel 100% comfortable!
What
is your dream job? Modeling is my dream job, and I've been lucky
to do it for eleven years. As long as I can keep doing it, I'm happy.
How
old were you when you got your first tattoo? I was fifteen, so
kind of young. I was brought up in groups where my friends were all the same, so
having so many tattoos was kind of natural
You
do have a lot of tats, which one is your favorite? Probably the big paint mark
"X" on my butt cheek. I don't know why, but I love it. Everyone seems
to think it has some sexual meaning like "X marks the spot" but
really, it's just a personal strength sort of thing for me
Are
you ever shy? Mickey
and the word shy don't mix. Haha! I don't think I've ever been shy. I'm always
very friendly and outgoing to anyone and everyone I meet. I'm myself instantly
with people I meet.
At
your age, are you where you planned to be, or ahead of the plan?
I had so many plans growing up as a kid. To be honest, I'm happy and just
lucky enough to do all the things that I've had the opportunity to do so far. Anything
else is a bonus!
Where
do you see yourself in 6 months? 5 years? I hope to still be
in the industry, keeping you guys happy and hopefully I'll have met more of you
by then. In 5 years, I think I'll have retired and into directing.
How
do you feel about being so popular, so fast? I don't know about being popular. Haha. I've been lucky to
have only been in the industry for six months and have such a strong following.
For that, I'm so happy everyone has taken to me, and who I am. So, I will just
keep doing what I do. Hopefully more people will want to get to know me and
more about what I do. I will keep trying to make them happy.
Favorite
fan moment? The
moment I got stopped in Manchester and asked to have a photo taken with them. They
told me how much they like what I do and how nice I am as a person. It was so
nice! Really made my day.
Okay,
I have to ask this.Lol Here goes, how do you feel about being on the cover? Are
you happy with the image? I love this image. It was taken by Life in
Living Color, and some of my best work has been taken by this man. He will also
be doing my calendar shoot which is exciting. I think it looks great on the
cover and I'm more than happy to help represent such an amazing book series. It'll
be interesting to see who is on the next one. Jake's cover is incredible too,
so I'm pumped to see whose next!
What
do you have coming up and will we be seeing it soon? There have been a few talks about me
working for certain studios. I'm also doing some other things soon. All I can
say is that yes, I am definitely doing a calendar, and I'm definitely coming
back to America, to NYC. It isn't for any filming, it's so I can do some events
for you guys! I have worked with some amazing studios recently though. I can't
wait for you to see what I've been up to, as well as other things.
Which
studio would you like to work with?
I would love to work for Helix, Cockyboys, and Men.com. I will actually be
working with Men.com very soon, which is great!
Which
models do you admire? Erm...Darius Ferdinan, Hunter Page, Ricky
Roman, and Tayte Hanson. They're all beautiful and great at what they do.
And there we have it. Some might have
known the answers, I didn't know any of them at all. I really appreciate Mickey
doing this. Here are some links to
follow him if you don't already. Also the info for the photographer as well.
