Do You Know…James Rizzo?

James Rizzo-Cover Model and Fitness Expert

On a recent post  on Jeaniene Frost’s  Facebook page, it was reported that the cover model for ONCE BURNED is James Rizzo…but that information is NOT correct.  We have contacted James, and he has confirmed, that he is NOT the cover model for Once Burned, but he is definitely a model worth watching.

STATS:

Height: 6’2″

James Rizzo, 31 years old, has been in the fitness industry every since he was 15 years old. He obtained his first certification at 17 years old through IFPA – International Fitness Personal Trainers Association. Since then, he has moved to New York about 7 years ago to pursue acting and modeling. He has been featured in Exercise for Men Only, Men’s Health, NFL Catalogue, Saks Fifth Avenue Catalog, Men’s Exercise and AXL magazine.

Growing up as an only child, James has said that he was teased because he was tall, lanky and wore glasses. He became defensive and claimed he couldn’t rely on anyone else. Over time, he came to know himself, and knew what he wanted to do. At 15, he started to exercise as a means to build self-confidence.

James has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in marketing, as well as certifications include AAAI/ISMA, IFPA, NSCA, Pre and Post natal, and CPR.

 

James has been a trainer for about 14 years and specializes in weight-loss, nutrition, injury-rehab, boxing, balance/coordination, bodybuilding, and sports conditioning.

James is currently marketing himself as a personal fitness trainer, model and actor.  And he currently manages his own Personal Training business in the Upper East Side of Manhattan as well as parts of the West Side.

Do You Know…Paul Marron?

Paul Marron’s face is very familiar to many readers of paranormal romance novels, and his most recent cover is this week’s new release….LOTHAIRE by Kresley Cole.

There is very little personal information on the web regarding Paul Marron. I have contacted his people, but they say he likes to keep a low profile. I will give it one more try.

For the fans of Kresley Cole’s IMMORTALS AFTER DARK series, Paul is the cover model for her latest release LOTHAIRE.

And for those of you lucky enough, to be able to visit one of Kresley’s book signings, Paul has been a frequent guest at the book stores, alongside Kresley.

>

Among Paul’s many covers, some of our favorites include:
JR Ward: Lover Avenged
Christine Dodd: Into The Shadow
Lora Leigh: Nauti Intentions
Kresley Cole: Lothaire and Kiss of the Demon King
Shelley Laurenston: The Mane Attraction
Sherrilyn Kenyon: Night Embrace
Sherrilyn Kenyon as Kinley MacGregor: Darkness Within
Susan Sizemore: Primal Instincts
Kresley Cole: Dark Desires After Dusk
JR Ward: Envy
I found this video on youtube, and hopefully this can better explain Paul’s career than any of the information that I have found on the net.

At a reported 6ft tall and the body of a Greek god, Paul is the epitome of the supernatural shape-shifter, vampire and highland warrior. And those eyes…..the perfect predator.

According to Paul’s website: And this is under ‘ABOUT ME’

“I enjoy fashion and find it interesting. Moreover, just as fashion trends are constantly evolving fashion can likewise be manipulated to reflect your ever-changing mood. While utilizing fashion as an expression of my individuality, I endeavor to portray a unique representation of how a man could create his signature ‘look’ as influenced by both up and coming and established designers. Whether it be on the runway or as my regular go-to-look, I strive to become a prime physical, mental and genetic being that may inspire others to develop and evolve”

Paul’s many fashion campaigns include 19th Street, Alagio, Casio, Todd Shelton and his very ‘popular’ underwear campaign for UNDERGEAR.

I had previously contacted Paul’s ‘people’ requesting a written interview, but they stated that Paul prefers to keep a low profile. With the promotion of Kresley Cole’s LOTHAIRE, perhaps we can convince Paul for a small peek into his life. *fingers crossed*
