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!!!

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.
Carolyn Miller says
I got a subscription to New Faith Network just so I could watch this. Yay Angela! Excited for you x
Becky Lewis says
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!!
Andrea Conner says
Susan May Warren’s Sunrise and Sunburst would make great movies.
Kendra Muonio says
I think the love inspired and harlequin heartwarming books would make great movies Even though I don’t watch television.
Laurie Larsen says
This is so exciting! I’m so happy for you!!
Steve Smith says
I think Pepper Basham ‘s book The Mistletoe Countess would make a fun movie. Bith my wife and I loved it.
Linda Kish says
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.
Trudy says
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!!
Sheree says
Honestly, any of your books! I love them all, but you already know that 😁
Valerie Comer says
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!
Lori Smanski says
I dont do audio. But wanted to Congratulate you. This is awesome
Alicia Haney says
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.
Gabrielle Bybee says
So exciting! So happy for you. I can’t wait to read it. ;)
Ausjenny says
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.
Kathleen Mattingly says
Awesome!! I look forward to seeing it!

Debra Pruss says
Tacos for Two by Betsy St. Amant.
Dianne says
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!
