Yet again, I am grateful for Hallmark’s dedication to bringing its viewers not only the best quality TV movies possible–especially at Christmas–but I always say that they find the “cream of the crop” young actors. And it just so happens that Payton Lepinski, young though she is, has been making movies for a couple of years now. I saw her […]

Of course, since I’m a writer, it is always a joy to feature authors, screenwriters, and other members of the writing community on my site, and Barbara Ankrum is one of those special people who’s about to have a rather special dream actualized. On Saturday, November 23rd, her book-turned-movie, Holiday Hearts, will premiere on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel […]

From the moment I first spied Madison Smith as Tyler Burgess, the love interest of Hannah Shannon in Garage Sale Mystery: The Wedding Dress, I knew Madison was destined for prominent things. Over the past four years, I have watched Madison mature and expand his horizons with Hallmark and elsewhere. I was so pleased to see him featured in Write Before […]

Those who choose to visit any of my social media pages, especially at this time of the year, will never doubt my enthusiastic, steadfast support of all things Hallmark. Moreover, when it comes to their original show, When Calls the Heart, I tend to intensify my support for this phenomenal, endearing show. Therefore, when discussing my favorite people on earth, […]

How is it even possible that I have interviewed Cindy Busby five times already? I guess it just demonstrates the fact that I absolutely adore this woman, and I will invariably go out of my way to support her in all of her endeavors! In anticipation of her first official Hallmark Christmas movie (LOOK IT UP–all the others have been […]

Last year, one of the most phenomenal Hallmark Christmas movies premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries entitled A Godwink Christmas. While I was new to the entire “Godwink” movement, I immediately recognized that this was something special, and it was a mode of thinking I could support wholeheartedly. I reached out to the “Godwink Guy” himself, SQuire Rushnell, and I was thoroughly […]

Personally, this season, I believe Hallmark is rolling out the absolute best offering of Christmas movies in all of their ten years of celebrating “Countdown To Christmas,” and tomorrow night’s premiere Write Before Christmas is bound to be no exception to that rule. I have been breathlessly anticipating this film since I first heard about and watched a preview this […]

Since Gloria arrived in Cedar Cove several years ago, I have been a huge fan of the actress who gave her life, Tara Wilson. I have kept up with her both professionally and personally, and it is quite exciting to know that she is coming back this Christmas to Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in a new Christmas movie, A Christmas Miracle.

I am always a huge fan of “Christmas In July”…I mean, I’m a fan of Christmas in general, so any time a new Christmas movie comes out, I’m totally stoked. This past July, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries premiered a fantastic movie called Christmas Camp, and I reached out to interview several of the cast members as well as the author, Karen […]

A couple of years ago, as a result of Hallmark’s original film, Magical Christmas Ornaments, I connected with a fantastic screenwriter. I discovered that I had been enjoying her films for a few years on the Hallmark network, and she agreed to a quick interview. Since that time, I have been following the journey of Rickie Castaneda, and this Christmas she […]
