I cannot remember the first time I heard of the upcoming show Date My Dad. Maybe it was Lilah Fitzgerald who told me about it. Perhaps Cindy Busby tweeted about it. Possibly I saw a Facebook post from Willie Aames. And when I read that Zenia Marshall joined the cast, I couldn’t have been more ecstatic. But it is entirely within the […]

First of all, as many of my followers know, I conduct interviews in a variety of ways. Due to scheduling issues, email interviews happen more than half of the time, and I never have an issue with it. But all too often, I don’t get some of the delightful details that might happen spontaneously in a live interview. Well, let […]

  Maybe you’ve heard of Destination Wedding, the movie that kicks off “June Weddings” month on the Hallmark Channel. If you are a diehard Hallmark fan or “Heartie,” you are probably well aware of this film, and maybe you’ve been counting down the days. And perchance you noticed a certain giveaway that popped up today, hosted by one of the stars […]

As a writer myself, I am aware of the fact that I am ostensibly drawn towards authors, and in recent years, Hallmark has increasingly adapted a wide variety of books into very successful movie franchises. In the case of Dana Cameron, her Emma Fielding mystery series is the newest mystery film heading to the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network this upcoming weekend (June […]

There is really almost nothing I enjoy better than talking with people who have inhabited this planet longer than I have. I used to be that one who would settle back and listen to my grandfather tell me stories of days gone by. My parents trained me to respect those who were older that I, and it is something I continue to […]

Again, Hallmark employs the most genuine and talented actors–period!! And the way I know is that I had the opportunity to interview this sweet gem a few weeks ago about her upcoming Hallmark film, All For Love, that will premiere on the Hallmark Channel tonight (May 27). Lindsay Maxwell is someone with whom I first connected back during one of the Garage […]

In January, I had the privilege of savoring a sweet Hallmark film {The Birthday Wish) penned by none other than Julie Sherman Wolfe. While I was anticipating a fun story fraught with the delightful antics of Jessy Schram and Luke Macfarlane amongst others {Marcus Rosner}, the actress playing Jessy’s character’s friend caught my eye, and I immediately launched an investigation via […]

Last year, prior to the premiere of Garage Sale Mystery: The Novel Murders, I had the extraordinary experience of interviewing  Ken Tremblett. Up to that point, I had only known Ken as Grant Markham from Unleashing Mr. Darcy and Patrick from When Calls the Heart. Even though Ken’s career is decidedly more extensive than his recent Hallmark films, he fosters a certain fondness in his heart for these […]

I believe I first noticed Frances Flanagan when I was watching Love in Paradise, and from that moment on, I have become aware of her appearances in many Hallmark films. What I didn’t know was how extensive and varied her career had been pre-Hallmark, and recently she agreed to answer a few questions about her profession in anticipation of her new Hallmark […]

Last year, during season two of Hallmark’s original series Good Witch, I had the joy and honor of interviewing the young man who plays Nick, Rhys Matthew Bond. This season, I contacted this skilled young actor yet again, and he enthusiastically agreed to answer a few more questions about his role in the series, other projects with which he has been […]
