"I found myself wanting to learn more," notes Nelson. "I couldn't fathom how an uncomplicated country boy from Ohio had somehow managed to be catapulted to the pinnacle of the erotic movie industry. I was interested to know what made Holmes tick, and in my spare time I began researching him on the Internet."
Nelson's co-writer, Jennifer Sugar (the two met on an entertainment message board), came to the subject in a similar manner. "She had watched Wonderland in 2004 and wanted to read a book about John, only to find that one did not exist. She decided to write it herself," says Nelson, "and about a year after she had commenced writing she invited me to assist her with the project and our collaboration began."
Nelson and Sugar's objective "was to provide an unbiased, balanced and unprecedented presentation of the events
Perhaps the most impressive feature of the book is the very thoroughness of the research, especially the extremely detailed and comprehensive film and scene reviews at the back of the book. "We wrote all of the movie reviews and loops synopses ourselves. I'd say that our film reviews are more erotic in nature, while our loops are sexually explicit, since they are much shorter than the features (only 10 minutes in length, on average) and merely brief set-ups for sex. Jennifer and I indeed watched every single one of the 114 Holmes feature films," says Nelson, "and all 86 of the loops that are included in the reviews and loops sections of the book. It was definitely a herculean effort."
