Last year, when I made what has become my annual visit to Vancouver B.C., I had the honor of meeting the vivacious and lovely Kate Isaac. She and I enjoyed an engaging morning chat, and it connected us even more than we had been in years past. Kate is such a talented and compassionate individual, and it delighted me to […]

Of course, my followers know of my passion for highlighting those behind-the-scenes, and it is always a delight to connect with incredible screenwriters. We all know that without their dedication and creativity, no movies would be made. And that is why it is my supreme honor to introduce the gifted and vivacious Karen Schaler, who has penned the first holiday […]

Megan Turner is in love with the past. As a tour guide at a beautiful historic mansion, she tells visitors about its original owner, Charles Whitley. An inventor and businessman in the early 1900s, he rose from poverty to wealth…only to disappear without a trace. Charles was always intrigued by the future. He just never expected to go there. But […]

As I continue to catch up on my backlog of Christmas interviews, I am especially pleased and honored that I had the opportunity to speak with a perennial Hallmark favorite actress, Ellie Harvie (do note the spelling of her name as it is regularly misspelled, even professionally speaking). While the name may not ring any bells with the casual Hallmarkie, […]

I was sent a copy of both movies in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated in any way and all opinions are 100 percent mine. Even though Christmas is over, as I am continuing to get caught up on the wealth of media I watched this season, I would like to tell you about two special […]

Thanks to the Hallmark Network, I have the honor of connecting with exceptional people like Jason Cermak on a somewhat consistent basis. Hearties have always loved him, and Sleuthers enjoyed seeing him in the popular Fixer Upper Mysteries series with Jewel and Colin Ferguson. Making his début on the Countdown to Christmas line-up (apart from a When Calls the Heart movie that […]

My regular readers are well aware of my affinity for highlighting those behind the scenes, and in the case of Joie Botkin, interviewing her was a genuine treat. She has become a fast fan and network favorite screenwriter, and before we close out our holiday season programming, it is my honor to share our recent chat. RH: Why did you decide […]

One of the dearest people I know in the When Calls the Heart family has to be Andrea Brooks. She was one of those very first interviews I ever did (I actually interviewed her back when she was NOT popular and the fans were insisting that she leave Jack alone!), and I’ve never forgotten her professionalism, her kindness, her talent, and […]

While I make it a priority to watch Hallmark network Christmas movies, I do my best to watch the Christmas movies on other channels as well. Sometimes I find a gem that for which I was not searching, and in the case of Christmas Catch (which I saw on UP TV), I was pleasantly surprised with the actor who played the lead, […]
