I don’t believe I have missed a single “Countdown to Christmas” movie this year on the Hallmark Channel nor its sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. While I have my personal favorites, there is no denying that a massive hit this year was their film A Heavenly Christmas starring Eric McCormack, Kristin Davis, and the legendary Shirley MacClaine. My family and […]

Falling For The Stars also provides a magical behind-the-scenes look at the stars and moviemaking through the eyes of a woman who went toe-to-toe with the Hollywood elite, or at least walked in their stunt shoes. She knows first-hand the caring and humanity of such luminaries as Streep, Redford and Cher. Book Details:Book Title:  Falling For The Stars: A Stunt Gal’s […]

Because I closely follow Hallmark actors, writers, producers, directors, etc., I do my best to apprise myself of the “new kids in town.” When I discovered that Ella Fairlie wrote the book upon which The Christmas List was based, I knew I had to contact her at once for an interview. Previously, I was not even aware of her existence, but Ella […]

Since I am a writer myself, I always have a special affinity for authors, and when those authors happen to have Hallmark movies premiering based on their books, I am even more enthralled. This weekend, Finding Father Christmas based on two books by author Robin Gunn, will air on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Recently, Robin agreed to answer a few questions concerning […]

If you have not had a chance to check out SyFy’s new hit Van Helsing, I would invite you to do so even if you are not a fan of vampires. In fact, it was just announced this week that the show has been renewed for season two! Bravo to the cast and crew! Recently, I had the chance to ask a […]

Some of you may recall my interview with Nicole Oliver earlier this summer, and what a surprise for me to discover that she has a talented son who is also an actor, William Ainscough. While in many ways, he is only in the early stages of his career, his roles have increasingly drawn the attention of viewers and critics alike. Not long […]

With the myriad of choices in the world of TV and film, it’s all too easy to permit priceless gems to pass us by due to time constraints, lack of interest, and even sheer laziness (at times, that is true in my life). Thankfully, we have people who champion the causes of very special shows that may go undetected by the general […]

When I moved back to Washington State, it was news to me that the Twilight saga that “everyone” was reading took place in the town of Forks, and the running joke was that was why I was moving back to the Pacific Northwest. I have made it a point to shun the vampire genre, but thankfully, I had already agreed to watch Van […]

Positive young people–sometimes an oxymoron and almost impossible to find, but it does not prevent me from searching arduously. And in the case of Kacey Fifield, in a sense, she found me. I happened upon her one day, and she was gracious enough to discuss how and why she became an actress, her passion for music, and most significantly, her optimistic outlook. […]

When I think of the show Cedar Cove that ran for three magnificent years on the Hallmark network, I cannot help but think of all the phenomenal people I “met” through twitter and who have now gone on to even more extraordinary endeavors. Had it not been for my sincere affection for all who were affiliated with that show, I never would have connected […]
