Interview with Cover Model Angelina Cavanaugh
An Interview with Cover Model Angelina Cavanaugh, Model for the Tales Of Nevaeh Series.
##################
Welcome, Angelina, and thank you for doing this blog interview with me. You grace the cover of all the full length novels for Tales Of Nevaeh, [ Born To Magic, The Dark Masters, and Trinity]; and, I have to say, when cover artist Erin Dameron Hill showed me your picture the first time, I knew you would be perfect—and you were! So, let’s let the readers out there know a little more about you.
Q: Angelina, tell us a little about yourself
Well, I'm a Jersey Girl to the fullest. I love having fun and just do my best to keep a free spirit. I am 30 years old and have 6 siblings. I have a passion for the Arts and am a dancer, I work as a pharmacy technician, and as bartender; I love my family and friends and hold them dear to my heart. I guess that's me in a nutshell lol
Q: Angelina, how long have you been a book cover model?
I have been modeling for book covers since July 2013. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
Q: Which type of books do you like to model for?
I don't know that I have a favorite type or genre of books that I prefer to model for because I am very diverse and love to get in character. I enjoy dressing up, and taking on the different heroines...I grew up as a tomboy and feeling “pretty” wasn't something that always came easily. So, I do have to say the pretty girly covers and badass fantasy ones have a special place in my heart!
Q: What is it like to be a cover model?
It's really fun to be a cover model… it takes a lot of personality. I am very silly and like to try new things so it really was something that I had no problem trying.
Q: When you saw yourself on my cover, and especially as a green-eyed pale blonde, what were your thoughts?
Hahhaa when I saw myself on your series...I was blown away. I knew Erin had purchased the stock images and I was SO BEYOND excited to see where they would end up. The blonde hair really threw me off but my mom has green eyes and I always wished I had them too...I loved that! Oh and hello, the dragons made me super happy! :)
Q: What do you consider before accepting a job?
Before accepting a job regarding a cover, I mainly just consider the impact it will have on my modeling career...is it something I would be proud of? Does it showcase my strengths? Am I giving off a bad image or promoting something distasteful? Those kinds of things. I've been very fortunate in my cover modeling; the professionals I've encountered and worked with have been respectful and even open to new ideas if I am ever uncomfortable.
Q: Do you read any of the books you‘ve modeled for?
I am a very big reader...always have been… I do read all of the books I am on. I have a list going and it’s tough to keep up with sometimes lol I have always imagined myself as characters in stories and now I can do it and with a reason...because I AM the face of that person..
Q: I’m sure you’ve worked with many artists, how does the interaction between photographer, cover artist and yourself work?
Regarding book covers, I currently shoot with one photographer. Those stock images go up for sale to artists. Sometimes a special request is put in for me and other times it's just “hey let's see what we can come up with” .Photo shoots are super fun and I always have an open mind
Q: What are your long-term aspirations?
Hmmm...I'd really love to catch up to Fabio—lol
That dude has I don't know how many covers exactly but….I want to make a name for myself in this business. Mostly because it's not common. I feel like people should know I'm just a real and down to earth woman.
Q: Just one more question. What’s next for you?
I honestly don't know what's next for me...kind of just hoping it's all an amazing journey. I hope to continue modeling for books and I am definitely looking to attend a few reader/writer conventions this calendar year! Keep your eyes and ears open. :)
