“Once a musician, always a musician.” I admit that is one hundred percent true with me. No matter how passionate I am about writing, interviewing, or anything else, my first love will probably always be music. And that is why a couple months ago, I happened upon a story that captured my heart. A young musician (from the state of […]

FOR AN EVEN MORE UP-TO-DATE INTERVIEW WITH BRENNAN, PLEASE CLICK HERE! Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I like to be prepared when at all possible. I plan ahead for everything and anything that may or may not go wrong. In recent years, I have learned to be much more flexible (I’m a substitute teacher, after all–talk about […]

Because I am a devoted fan of the shows and films that appear on the Hallmark network (and I adore the mystery franchise, especially), I remember seeing a young man step into the role of Logan, the son of Jennifer (Lori Loughlin) and Jason (Steve Bacic), and I couldn’t place why he looked so familiar. My Hearties friends quickly filled […]

Since I am a mystery enthusiast as well as a major Brennan Elliott fanatic, when the first Flower Shop Mystery film premiered, I quickly became acquainted with as many of the cast as possible. And that meant connecting with the handsome guy who played Dave King, the other lawyer who had an unrequited love interest in Abby. Regardless, Christian Lloyd portrayed him flawlessly, […]

While I have been a When Calls the Heart fan from Day One, I sometimes lose track of the actors who were a part of the cast in seasons one and two. Thankfully, I am connected with a superb network of Hearties who keep me abreast of such things, and recently, that is exactly what happened. Katelyn Mager, the actress who is fondly […]

This is just so cool! I have interviewed almost the entire main cast of Murder, She Baked (with one exception).  So I’m going to link all interviews with the cast here. Most were with Starry Constellation Magazine, and some were very early in my interviewing “career.” So apologies in advance for some that are not up to my current standard, […]

If you’re anything like me, there’s a sense of accomplishment that comes when you work tenaciously to bring something about, and once you have achieved what many may have doubted, you can just sit back and smile. And that is exactly how I feel about my interview with Cameron Mathison. From the moment I first requested the interview to the moment it […]

About three years ago, a show arrived on the Hallmark Channel that changed my life forever. I had no idea at that point how it would ultimately impact my life, but there was something about Cedar Cove that I liked. At first, it wasn’t even my favorite show, but I remember noticing the sweet Peggy Beldon and loving her instantly. It […]

For me, the storyline of a film has always been paramount as to whether I will like the film or not. It can have the best actors in the world and be filled to overflowing with special effects, but if it doesn’t have an engaging story, I lose interest pretty rapidly. With Hallmark, storylines are predictable but solid and sometimes […]

A few years ago, as I was watching what became one of my all-time favorite shows–Cedar Cove–I observed that a young actor was brought in to be the son of one of the principals in the show. Immediately, I noticed that this fellow was a capable actor, but sometimes his character just made me so incensed. Thankfully, I was able to separate […]
