Jason Aaron Bacahas been a vampire, a highlander, a cowboy, and an everyday heartthrob.
Whoever he becomes, his bare chest and muscles are always on display.
Congratulations on reaching 500 covers.
Craig Williams
When did it happen?500 just passed the other day.
It actually came without me even doing a shoot.
They used one of my unused [photos] from my old cover shoots.
Craig Williams
How does it feel to hit 500?Its always been the journey thats brought me the pleasure.
Its not so much reaching 500 or getting past a major public figure like Fabio.
It was just like, Okay, well, get back to work.
Craig Williams
What was your motivation for accumulating so many covers?Yeah.
When I started doing these covers, it was something I just loved.
Having to do these big workouts.
The intensity of it all was something that really thrilled me.
Its such a unique arena.
Not many people can say that they are romance cover models.
Thats something that really appealed to me.
Ive always strived to be somebody different, somebody unusual.
A lot of other people might be in it for the money.
Whereas for me, it was something that was very heartfelt.
Theyre not going to be able to pass it without picking it up and wanting to purchase it.
How did you start romance cover modeling?I was trying my hand at acting.
I was a double for the movieI Know What You Did Last Summer.
I just realized that I could not act.
I just could not speak my lines in an audition.
I just sounded so funny.
I did [fashion modeling] for eight, nine years.
It wasnt something that I ever really enjoyed doing.
I saw a romance novel atBarnes & Nobleand I just totally loved the idea of becoming one.
I emailed 80 to 100 authors trying to find out how.
I want to know what Im doing in the books.
You get 10, 15 pages into it and you realize, Oh my god, what a hero.
Have you ever met Fabio?No.
Im sure hes very aware of me by now.
How do you feel about him?
I think hes done well with the tools that hes been given.
Im not one that does poses well.
Id rather just flow with it.
Put some love into it.
Ladies want to feel things from the heart.
Show her everything you feel.
Take time out of the everyday monotony on this day to explain and take inventory in your relationship.
Shell love you forever for it.
