    I remember reading about A Bramble House Christmas becoming a Hallmark Christmas movie, and at the time, I was so excited for the author, C.J. Carmichael. I knew nothing of her nor her works, but the premise and the title just seemed like a perfect fit with this beloved network. Later, when I discovered that David Haydn-Jones and Autumn Reeser were […]

    Yet another Countdown to Christmas movie is headed our way November 19th, and it is entitled A Gift To Remember. It has become a popular trend for Hallmark to find quality books already in print and adapt them for their network, and that is exactly what happened with this particular film. I was honored to be able to conduct a quick […]

    Back when The Irresistible Blueberry Farm premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I had the opportunity to chat and connect with the amazing actress, Rebecca Staab. I was never a soap opera fan, so I was unaware of her considerable and tremendous body of work, but she and I had an instant rapport. When I discovered she was going to appear […]

    As the vast majority of my readers know, there is nothing that fascinates me more than highlighting those behind-the-scenes with respect to film and TV. The Hallmark network has aided so many authors in the pursuit of their wildest and sometimes unvoiced dreams. Who wouldn’t want one of their cherished books be made into a movie? Well, Jenny Hale’s book Coming […]

    Thanks to the lovely and supportive Teresa Minutolo, I had the pleasure of initially connecting with and interviewing the phenomenal and accomplished David Haydn-Jones.

    Earlier this year, I had the honor of chatting with Dylan Kingwell shortly after his film Campfire Kiss premiered on the Hallmark Channel. Because of that interview, I have become a zealous champion of his acting career, and I was so excited when it was announced that he would be appearing in The Good Doctor, a show I planned on watching anyway.

    My loyal readers and Hallmark fans are aware of my adoration for Brennan Elliott and all of his films, especially his Hallmark movies. For that reason, Love You Like Christmas became a quick favorite last year because he was the star. However, the storyline was quite sweet, and when I learned that one of Hallmark’s first published books was going to […]

    If you’re a fairly devoted Hallmark fan like me, you probably noticed a new face last year during Hallmark’s summer movies series in the film called Stop the Wedding, but no doubt many Hallmark fans knew about Niall Matter long before that. Hearties will remember him as the single father, Shane, who kissed Faith on their first date. And fans of Finding […]

    I had the supreme joy and honor of interviewing author Robin Jones Gunn before the premiere of her book turned movie last year entitled Finding Father Christmas, and I was immensely excited when I learned there was going to be a sequel this year. In spite of Robin’s incredibly busy personal and professional life, she took a few moments recently to […]

    Unleashing Mr. Darcy is a movie that always has held a special place in my heart because I have connected with practically the entire cast through interviews and more. I have also connected with some of the people behind the scenes, most notably, David Winning. During my nearly two years of interviews, anyone who has ever worked with David lavishes […]
