Last fall, I was immensely intrigued and entertained by the original “Fall Harvest” film, October Kiss, that premiered on the Hallmark network. I will admit that I knew very little about the lead actress, Ashley Williams, but I never forgot her. Imagine my surprise when I found myself reading a poignant blog post a short while ago that was written by that very […]

I encounter countless engaging and fascinating people in the entertainment industry, and the question is often asked–“how did you find me?” Oh, I wish I knew that answer each and every time, but in this case, I think I remember noticing Inga Cadranel in connection with the show Dark Matter. When I asked her for an interview, guess what essential detail I […]

Once in awhile, there is a name that just embeds itself in my brain and I cannot seem to obliterate it. Interestingly enough, it just so happens that Preston Vanderslice is one of those names. Thankfully, he is more than just a memorable name as he is a noteworthy actor as well. I first noticed him in Love By Chance, and it seems […]

This past summer, I contacted the author of The Convenient Groom, Denise Hunter, because I wanted to make sure that I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about her upcoming book-turned-film. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I forgot to follow up after our initial contact. Thankfully, one of her books is also featured in Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas (A […]

Over the past couple years as I have reached out to a vast range of diverse actors and actively supported their careers, there have been noteworthy moments that are forever cemented within my heart and mind. The first time an actor responded to me. The first time an actor commented on one of my reviews. Even the first time an actor left […]

Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I have an enchantment with strong women. I’m not sure why exactly, but maybe my background and the fact that I used to outwardly acquiesce so easily is part of the reason why I am fiercely supportive of women who follow their passions no matter the obstacles in their way. Add that […]

In the course of interviewing a wide variety of actors, I am consistently gratified when I “discover” a driven actress who can practically do it all. And in the case of Lucie Guest, I have stumbled upon a filmmaker who is so much more than “just an actress.” While I believe that every person in the business should never be labelled as “I’m just a…,” […]

Being somewhat of a Hallmark “SuperFan,” I do tend to lend my categorical support in an immense way to their projects, and it just so happens that Chesapeake Shores, which is incidentally Hallmark’s currently most popular series, is a project about which I have no problem promoting. In fact, it is a joy and an honor to have the opportunity to advocate […]

Being the Hallmark aficionado that I am, I am definitely a fan of the weekday show Home & Family. Even though I don’t consistently have the opportunity to watch all the segments every single day, there are some names embedded in my memory and various segments that are genuinely unforgettable. And “Renegade Kitchen” is decidedly one of those. Then again, I am the cook in my […]

Every time I interview a young person in the entertainment business, I customarily have a sense of awe and excitement. Most of these young performers have accomplished so much in their relatively short life span, and the vast majority of them (unlike the gossip columns would prefer you to believe) are “good kids.” In the case of Peter DaCunha, it was truly a joy […]
