If you were amongst the millions who tuned in to watch Christmas At Graceland this past holiday season on the Hallmark Channel, then you may recognize Tamara Austin as the one who played Laurel’s (Kellie Pickler) best friend. I realize that there are those in the community who have made it apparent that they are not fans of this film, but […]

I have watched When Calls the Heart from the moment the pilot movie premiered, to the series, throughout the ups and downs, and I am certainly ready to see more of this incredible show beginning Sunday, February 24th! As an anticipatory prequel to the official start of season six, The Greatest Christmas Blessing premiered on the Hallmark Channel (and Super Channel Heart & […]

Prison Fellowship presents The Restoration Series: Jonathan’s Walk, a 5-part documentary film series following one man as he re-enters his community after 15 years in prison. It demonstrates in imagery, powerful storytelling and social interaction what it means to be human and the shared need of all people to see communities restored. Though America is home to only 4% of […]

Because I have so many friends in Vancouver who act for a living, there are numerous occasions where I recognize various names and faces even before they become popular on the Hallmark Network. Dave Collette happens to be one of those people. Until I saw Ali Sweeney tweeting about his inclusion in her new mystery series Chronicle Mysteries, I couldn’t have […]

I think it’s safe to state that I have followed Brittany Bristow’s Hallmark career, even before I knew her name. Her presence on-screen has been something quite distinctive, and she consistently engages her fans on social media in a remarkably positive fashion. Even though she is still fairly young, her success within the industry has entertained Hallmark viewers notably in […]

I have been meaning to write this particular post for quite some time, but with Christmas, Winterfest, and more, I have been so busy! And since we currently have some snow days, I am taking this time to finally share some insight into what happened with me personally and professionally in the year of 2018. It was overflowing with such […]

I am absolutely THRILLED that we are so close to the season six premiere of When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel in the U.S. and Super Channel Heart & Home in Canada. With the shake-up that occurred at the end of season five last year, it makes sense that new cast members have been added to this new season. I […]

Last summer, I happened upon the Vancouver actress Rhonda Dent, and because I had become familiar with her work, I reached out for an interview, to which she quickly agreed. Recently, she shared with me some information about an upcoming role of hers that was essentially a dream come true, and I knew I wanted to feature her again. Thankfully, […]

I have a tendency to “discover” Vancouver actors before they even appear in their first Hallmark movie, and in the case of Sharon Taylor, that is precisely true. I interviewed her some time ago when most of her highly-acclaimed work was for Lifetime, SyFy, and other networks. And because of the exceptional actress she is as well as her dynamic […]

What an incredible “Countdown To Christmas” time period it was on the Hallmark Channel this past season! I discovered all sorts of amazing actors with whom I was not previously familiar, and thanks to Lacey Chabert and Brendan Penny, who starred in Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe, I became aware of the very gifted Morgan David Jones. When I reached out to […]
