It is through our knowledge of the past that we can learn what we should or shouldn’t do and how we should or shouldn’t behave in the future.Ī Timeless Christmas is a time travel tale set in the early 1900s and 2018. This is such an opportune thought for our current times. Only through knowing what had come before could anybody move forward. Keira: Alexis, thank you for joining Frolic for a short interview.
Keira: So what book project is next for you?Īlexis: I have a new kisses-only holiday romance, Operation: Holiday Matchmakers, out on November 10 about two rival matchmakers who must reluctantly work together during the holiday season to save their small town. Keira: Do you plan on having a watch party for it on November 15 on social media?Īlexis: We’re definitely having a watch party, complete with a signature cocktail and using the hashtag #timelessxmas. Keira: Have you seen it? Are you happy with the way it turned out?Īlexis: As of yet, I haven’t seen it, so I’m extremely excited to watch and see Charles and Megan’s story brought to life! I couldn’t have asked for a greater team. But I honestly couldn’t be happier when I heard that Ryan Paevey and Erin Cahill were cast as Charles and Megan, respectively, with Ron Oliver directing. Keira: Did you have any say in the script? Casting?Īlexis: By the time I heard about the production happening, the script had been written and the actors cast, so I didn’t have any say. But I stalked the production through social media. They had rigorous safety protocols for the set, including the cast quarantining for two weeks in Vancouver. So when I got the email in August, I was so excited! I wanted to visit the set, but due to Covid-19, everyone had to be safe, which meant a visit wasn’t possible. Given that I write historical romance, I never believed that any of my books would be made into films (due to budget constraints). Keira: Did you always know that A Timeless Christmas would be made into a movie?Īlexis: There was always the possibility that it could be made into a film, but the development process can be very long, so honestly, I was starting to believe that it would remain a dream, especially in the long period time between it being okayed for development and final, the production. Yes, it took over a year! It might have been a shorter process, but the pandemic happened, and I think that altered the whole process. Keira: When was your book optioned for a movie? And when did Hallmark sign up to do the movie?Īlexis: The book was optioned in June of 2019 and was finally greenlit for production in August 2020. It’s easy to have a negative view of technology, so to have a character who sees these changes through a positive lens was fun and refreshing. What’s great about Charles is that he’s excited about the future and greets all the innovations with eagerness. Because my other pen names (Eva Leigh and Zoë Archer) write historical romance, Bryn felt that the time-travel element would be a great fit for me, and I truly enjoyed writing about a 1903 “tech whiz” being transported to the modern era. How did you come to write this book for Hallmark Publishing?Īlexis Stanton: I was approached by Bryn Donovan from Hallmark Publishing to take an existing synopsis that was about three or four pages and develop it into a full-length novel.
I have a few questions for you regarding this.
