A couple of years ago, I was introduced to a promising young actor, Clayton Chitty, in the Hallmark movie The Sweetest Heart. Even though this movie was not my all-time favorite Hallmark romance, I took notice of the actors who were involved, and it has been a joy to see the trajectory of each of their careers as they have […]

As most of my readers know, I do enjoy highlighting authors, and when it comes to independent authors, I royally salute each one of them. All too often, their readers have no idea the amount of work they invest behind the scenes to bring that final product to the general public, and these creatives are regularly involved in more endeavors […]

Season six of When Calls the Heart introduced the Hearties to several new characters, and one of the most dazzling additions was Fiona Miller, as portrayed by Kayla Wallace. I had the opportunity to interview Kayla last season, and even more thrilling than that, I actually met her at last year’s Hearties Family Reunion. In season seven of the popular Hallmark […]

DISCLAIMER: ANDREA AND I HAD OUR INTERVIEW BEFORE THE CURRENT CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC SITUATION, SO PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY REFERENCE TO THINGS NO LONGER ALLOWED NOR ENCOURAGED DURING THIS TIME WERE DISCUSSED BEFORE HOMEBOUND SELF-ISOLATION BECAME A WAY OF LIFE.  If anyone knows me at all, they probably are aware of my steadfast affinity for the Hallmark network and especially their […]

When you have followed When Calls the Heart as long as I have (from the beginning, like many Hearties), interacted with the actors both on and off social media, and interviewed some of them annually, it would be natural to become complacent and take the show and its exceptional crew and cast for granted. Well, if you know me at all, […]

As most of my readers know, I am a huge proponent of the broad range of mystery series that air on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. In my humble opinion, I tend to think I am typically one of the biggest supporters of each of the franchises. However, Gourmet Detective is a noteworthy series of films that has distinguished itself in […]

Because of the vast number of Christmas movies that Hallmark produces, you can imagine that there is an extensive assortment of screenwriters that they regularly employ. While some may believe that there is “nothing” to writing a Hallmark movie, I vehemently disagree! In keeping with my dedication to highlighting everyone possible on my site–especially those behind the camera–, I can […]

Even when I am watching a show or a movie “for fun,” I cannot help but have my phone available, lest I uncover a talented person with whom I am unfamiliar. That is exactly what happened with Joey Coleman. I noticed him on Murdoch Mysteries last season, and I knew I wanted to reach out in order to feature him […]

I love the Hope Valley kids from the Hallmark Channel show When Calls the Heart. More than likely, if a young actor or actress has been featured on the show, there’s a good chance I have interviewed him or her. Kadence Roach is one such young lady. I interviewed her the first time in 2017, after meeting her in Vancouver, […]

As my readers know, I simply adore the Vancouver film industry, and not too long ago, I was honored to have been connected with one of the most promising, up-and-coming young filmmakers in this community–Cassandra Ebner. I have noticed her name emerging on a regular basis over the past few months, and I knew it was finally time to feature […]
