It was exciting when my book Finding Love in Big Sky was made into a movie, but nobody in the United States has been able to watch it yet. Until NOW.
Okay, not exactly now. But soon. I’ve got viewer info for you, and I’ve got almost three months to plan a big red carpet premier. I hope you’ll join me!
Just to clear up confusion, it’s not going to be on Hallmark. I think people assumed Hallmark because I had reviews that said it would make the perfect Hallmark movie and because it’s a sweet Christmas romance. But there are other channels out there that show sweet romance films, you know. Plus the producer ended up taking Christmas out of it, so you can watch it year round if you want!!!
In Canada, Finding Love in Big Sky aired on the Heart and Home channel, and if you live in Canada, you can watch it by clicking here. I was told someone from that channel said it’s the best movie they’ve aired. So that’s pretty cool.
If you love sweet romance and want to help me make the most out of this love story, here’s my premier plans. I’ll be doing an online countdown on social media, and I’ll live tweet/facebook/instagram insider info as the movie plays. You can join me in any one of those forums, or you can come watch it with me in Boise.
My hubby actually proposed in a movie theater with this video, and the owner of the movie theater offered to show Finding Love in Big Sky when it releases. You know what makes this even better? It’s airing on my parents’ anniversary.
I don’t have all the details for my event yet, but while I’m planning it, here are some fun things you can do in preparation:
1.) Read this blog about how I got my book optioned for film.
2.) Check out behind the scenes photos from my time as an extra on the set.
3.) Watch other movies from the series.
4.) Read the book and/or host me at your book club. (I’m going to be a surprise guest at a book club this summer. Maybe it’s YOURS.)
Then…
Watch Finding Love on Big Sky on UPtv September 11!!!
Answer the question below to be entered to win a free audiobook download of Finding Love in Big Sky: What inspirational Christian fiction book do you think would make a great movie?
Angela Ruth Strong sold her first Christian romance novel in 2009 then quit writing romance when her husband left her. Ten years later, God has shown her the true meaning of love, and there's nothing else she'd rather write about. Her books have since earned TOP PICK in Romantic Times, been optioned for film, won the Cascade Award, and been Amazon best-sellers. She also writes non-fiction for SpiritLed Woman. To help aspiring authors, she started IDAhope Writers where she lives in Idaho, and she teaches as an expert online at WRITE THAT BOOK.
Wow Australia was earlier too. I watched it over Easter on The New Faith Network and it is now on Good TV in Australia https://feelgood.watchgood.com/videos/2008415-finding-love-in-big-sky-montana
I really enjoyed it.
I am sure you will have fun planning the event.
Oh good to know! So glad you enjoyed it. <3
I got a subscription to New Faith Network just so I could watch this. Yay Angela! Excited for you x
Hi Carolyn its on ACCTV (Good) also. I found the New Faith Network didn’t work well on my tv so quite the free trial early but did get to see this movie.
Awww… You are such wonderful support. Thank you for sharing my joy.
So excited for you, Angela!! God has worked in both your life and writing career such amazing ways!! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself!!
Amen! He does this so personally for all of us. And I’m glad to be able to share with you. You are a joy.
Susan May Warren’s Sunrise and Sunburst would make great movies.
Ooh… I’ll have to check those out!
I think the love inspired and harlequin heartwarming books would make great movies Even though I don’t watch television.
Yes!!! I have some good friends who write for them. <3
This is so exciting! I’m so happy for you!!
Is this real life? LOL Thank you for your support.
I think Pepper Basham ‘s book The Mistletoe Countess would make a fun movie. Bith my wife and I loved it.
I read that and loved it too. <3
Most any of them, probably. I would watch them, for sure.
I hope you remind us when it is time for it to be on (I am sure you will). My brain won’t remember that long.
You can count on it. ;-)
I honestly don’t know that I want to see any of the CF books I like made into movies. Usually, the movie isn’t nearly as good as the book, too many things are changed from the book, and the book usually goes from a G rated book to PG or worse. I’ll just stick to the books!!
I usually feel that way too. My hope is that the movie will reach people who will then want to pick up my book. <3
Honestly, any of your books! I love them all, but you already know that 😁
Aww… I’ll see what I can do for you. ;-)
I enjoyed watching this back in January in Canada! It was fun catching a glimpse or two of you and your hubby. Krista Phillips’ The Engagement Plot will be available for viewing in Canada soon – next week, I think!
Lucky! I’m so looking forward to The Engagement Plot!!!
I dont do audio. But wanted to Congratulate you. This is awesome
Oh, thank you, Lori! I enjoy audio on road trips. It’s a fun way to share stories with my husband or kids. But I do prefer a book in my hand.
Wow, how exciting for you, this is Awesome!! I think that “Desire of My Heart” by Heidi Grey McGill would make a Great movie and also “With All My Heart” that follows Desire of My Heart. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Ooh… I’ll check those out. Thanks!
So exciting! So happy for you. I can’t wait to read it. ;)
Yay!!! I thought you’d already read this one!
Awesome!! I look forward to seeing it!
Sweet. <3 I look forward to sharing it with you.
not sure
Do you visualize books in your head when you read them?
can’t think of any
Have there been any you enjoyed in the past?
Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant.
Totally! We need a Betsy movie!!!
So excited for you, it’s going to be an exhilerating few months ahead so I hope you have a fantastic time. No book springs to mind but so many books from past and present authors on this blog mean there are heaps to choose from. Enjoy!
For sure. And thanks for sharing my joy. <3
