I am not certain when Neill Fearnley arrived on my radar, but my guess would be that When Calls the Heart caused me to seriously notice and appreciate his work. Many of the actors would rave about him, and when he directed all four Garage Sale Mystery films for August’s big event last year, I became cognizant of his expertise. And […]

Recently, it seems that I have been conducting follow-up interviews with several of my friends in the business, and Cindy Busby is certainly no exception to that rule. While I didn’t follow her during her Heartland days, I am a Cedar Cove fan who absolutely adored her (though not necessarily her character) from the moment her brunette locks waltzed onto the series and […]

A little over two years ago when I was just beginning to interview actors, Andrea Brooks was one of the first people who agreed to chat with me during season three of When Calls the Heart. It was at that moment that we connected, and since then, we have kept in contact and done a few more interviews. Recently, I had […]

When I attended the Hearties Family Reunion this past fall, I was thrilled to discover that Charlotte Hegele would be returning to When Calls the Heart in season five! I typically miss many updates due to my busy schedule and social media feed, and this news was exhilarating. Moreover, I had the amazing opportunity to meet Charlotte and talk with her […]

As most of my readers know, I always experience great delight while noticing the children in TV movies, and particularly, if those movies happen to appear on one of the Hallmark networks, I am euphoric! In the case of Sebastian Billingsley-Rodriguez, I observed him immediately in the Winterfest movie Frozen In Love which premiered on the Hallmark Channel last month, and […]

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity of being on a guest on the fantastic Hallmarkies Podcast where we discussed our top 2017 Hallmark Non-Christmas Movies. Rachel and Amber are the creative ladies who created this fantastic show, and this was my second time to be their guest. We agreed on some of the movies, but regardless of our […]

Right before the premiere of Hallmark Movie & Mysteries’ most recent Emma Fielding installment, I noticed a twitter account that I had not previously. It was that of Phoef Sutton, and he stated that he wrote the script for the upcoming film. Immediately, I went into research mode and contacted him for an interview once I realized he had been in the […]

As many people know, Hallmark has entered the amazing world of book publishing, and the first books they published were four beloved Christmas novelizations of popular Christmas movies that have previously aired on their network. One of these was A Heavenly Christmas, originally written for the screen by Gregg McBride, but adapted by Rhonda Merwarth as an e-book. Because Christmas was […]

Nearly two years ago, God granted me the inconceivable opportunity of interviewing an extraordinary actor who has become a choice favorite in Hallmark circles. Admittedly, I was a fan just like everyone else (why wouldn’t you be a fan of this phenomenal human being?), but he and I have continued to share a very special connection which makes our third […]

Last season during When Calls the Heart, I happened to notice a Heartie that for whatever reason I had not previously. I observed her amazing artwork, and she and I connected online. My only regret is that I didn’t get to meet Jordan Blackstone during the most recent Hearties Family Reunion. (I actually brought the gift bag that I won during […]
