Man Candy Day: Adam Killian

Have you ever wonder who is the beautiful man on a romance cover? Some of them are quite famous, but they are all cover models for het romances, till now the cover models for M/M romance novels were only a beatiful "torso", sometime nice eyes, but no names. eXtasy Books changed the trend and hired a real model, with a name, for the cover of three books (for now) by A.J. Llewellyn, Adam Killian

From various source I learned that Adam is not only very handsome but also smart, funny and of course sexy.

Adam Killian was the Desert Angel by Henning von Berg and he appeared on the cover of Alpha Males always by Henning von Berg and published by Bruno Gmunder. He will appear on the June cover of Men Magazine by photographer Mick Hicks.

Adam Killian is on the cover of The Cannibal King's Husband (book 12 in the Phantom Lover series) by A.J. Llewellyn released on May 15 at www.extasybooks.com and he is going to be on the next two covers in the Phantom Lover series. The photo shoot for these cover were made by photograher Tom Nelson in a tropical setting befitting the Phantom Lover series.

Adam is a videographer (for Manifest Men, Chi Chi Larue's companies and Falcon companies) as well as an adult performer, he knows how he looks best. He has been working in the modeling/film industry since high school. He travelled all around the world, from the runways in Tokyo to the biggest clubs in Ibiza, Spain. He has created and performed in dance shows for Mardi Gras in Sydney to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and he is always ready for the next adventure and to work with creative, inspiring and talented people.

As adult performer Adam Killlian was also up for several Grabby Awards (honoring the best in gay adult videos) for his work behind and in front of the camera. He won the Grabby for Best Duo Sex Scene, Best Man 2 (Falcon) with Zeb Atlas, and was nominated for Best Videography, with Brad Austin for Excess (Rascal) and with Brad Austin and Hue Wilde for Black Meat White Heat (All Worlds Video).

His scene from the upcoming Falcon video The Trainer is available for download right now from the Falcon site. In the movie Adam plays a photographer who gets in on with two of his models (played by Ty Colt & Leo Giamani). Adam is also in the all-star flick "Taken - to the lowest level" from Channel 1 Releasing directed by Chi Chi LaRue; it will feature 18 hot guys all with a huge resume. Adam Killian is on the cover of the DVD along with Mitchell Rock and he recorded and released his first single called "Take Me" for this movie, available on iTunes. In the past Adam has done a cameo appearance at almost at every live show broadcast from Studio 1010. He's co-starred in one video in the gallery. He's co-starred in a live show. He's got one set of pics (so far) in the Manifest photography gallery. He's been involved in all Manifest Men videos for the past year but remained largely unseen. Adam continues to work as a model (including Playgirl) and dancer and videographer for gay adult films. Last year he took a bolder step by appearing in the Falcon video Best Men 2 with Zeb Atlas.

Aloha Elisa,
Many thanks for the beautiful shout-out to my books and my gorgeous cover model Adam Killian.
This entire shoot was made possible by my very good friend and Adam's Falcon director John Bruno who introduced me and Adam in the first place.
It was also made possible by Adam Killian being so willing and genuinely excited to do this.
It was a wonderful, collaborative effort with the perfect cover model in the world. Adam is an amazing man to work with. I swear he channeled the character of Paden from my Phantom Lover sries.
You wouldn't think a guy who looks like this would be nice, but he IS!!
We also were blessed with the awesome talents of photographer Tom Nelson.
Thanks for posting this. And thanks for all you do for M/M authors.
A.J.
