Listen in and learn about how bell towers won out over clock towers and became a big part of each of the novellas in the Christmas in the Cascades collection. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.  In this episode, I chatted with April Kidwell and Marline Williams about their collection set in the Cascades in Oregon. All centered around a bell tower and... Christmas of course.  We talked about them getting to know each other, about how they learned about bells, how they created this fictional community, and how they kept everything straight. Don't forget to find out about the Dane's Creek Christmas Cookbook! And this is that song I mentioned about the three bells: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5pH7l3qdPw Christmas in the Cascades by Marissa Adams, April Kidwell, Marline Williams, Chris Daniel, and Cali Black Christmas In The Cascades Ring in the holidays with five sweet stories of love and hope through the decades in Dane's Creek, Oregon. 1874 – Glad and Golden Hours When her father's injury prevents him from founding the town bell, Eleanor Craven's bleak Christmas is cheered by the arrival of the charming Silas Fairbanks.

You’re going to need to sit down for this one…. On the season one finale of the On This Day Entertainment podcast, the creator and star of I, Nomi, April Kidwell, and Ashley break down an underrated gem from 1995 – Showgirls. April performed as Nomi in Showgirls: The Musical, as well as Jessie Spano […]

April Kidwell, writer & star of I, NOMI -- a one-woman satire based on SHOWGIRLS and I, TONYA -- joins Laura Heywood in studio. But I had SEEN her onstage years before, when she played Jesse Spano in “BAYSIDE: The Saved by The Bell musical.” She embodied Elizabeth Berkley’s character SO well that she has gone on to make a career out of playing the actress — not just in her squeaky clean morning television persona but more & more as the firey, misunderstood dancer Nomi Malone in Showgirls. She portrayed Nomi in “Showgirls: The Musical” off-Broadway for more than two years, and has since created  her own one-woman show, “I, Nomi” — which ran to rave reviews in San Francisco and begins a New York run at the Laurie Beechman theatre in July!
