Murder Before Evensong/Madame Blanc Christmas Special on AcornTV

by Lorie Lewis Ham


Acorn TV is always a great source for British Mysteries and one of their newer ones is Murder Before Evensong. It first caught my eye when I saw that the main character, Canon Daniel Clement, was played by Matthew Lewis, best known for playing Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter movies. It is adapted from the novel of the same name by Richard Coles, which is actually a book series I had wanted to try.

Road Trip With A Vampire By Jenna Levine: Review/Giveaway

by Lorie Lewis Ham


Road Trip With A Vampire is book 3 in Jenna Levine’s My Vampires series, which is apparently also the last book. The first two books were called My Roommate Is A Vampire, and My Vampire Plus-One. This is a delightful vampire rom-com series that I highly recommend and am sad to see be over. While each book has it’s own plot, there are crossovers from some of the characters from the other books in book 1 and 2, so I highly recommend reading these in order.

Fallen Star By Lee Goldberg: Review/Giveaway

by Cynthia Chow,


Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Detective Eve Ronin is still adjusting to her fame after arresting a movie star and then becoming the inspiration for a television series, to the point where she wonders if she isn’t becoming the fictionalized version of herself. Her shooting out tires to prevent a smash-and-grab robbery at an Ulta Store is exactly what the TV character would do, but it costs the real Eve Ronin her badge and has her captain giving the same reprimanding speech that has become a Hollywood cliché.

Q&A With Visalia Actor Willow Rogers

by Lorie Lewis Ham


This week we have another fun Q&A with a local actor. This time the actor is Willow Rogers, who this past summer I saw play Maureen in Selma Arts Center’s production of Rent, and more recently I saw her in COS’ production of Dracula. Two very different shows, and she was wonderful in both. Willow is from Visalia, born and raised.
