I've had the great fortune to write a new wedding movie for the Hallmark Channel!

******* NEW PREMIERE DATE!
In the Key of Love will be premiering on Hallmark Movies Now to kick off the new series When Hope Calls in August. I’ll post the dates when I get them!


It’s been two years since MAGGIE CASE (Laura Osnes) left Nashville and came to Piedmount Island, an idyllic wedding spot off the coast of Washington, to take over her grandmother’s photography business, leaving her boyfriend, JAKE COLBY (Scott Michael Foster), and their singing duo Colby & Case behind. Her life is content until Jake’s sister, Jennifer, surprises Maggie by showing up on the island to get married with her brother Jake in tow. Being the wedding photographer, Maggie is thrust into spending time with Jake as she photographs all the pre-wedding events.

Well, it's finally here. We are doing a AEA staged reading of Third Party Ruling October 12th & 13th in NYC. My composer/lyricist Andrew David Sotomayor and I are so excited to see this piece come alive with an incredibly talented cast.
