This Sunday is a big deal for me.
My good friend CJ Carmichael’s novel, A Bramble House Christmas, will be a Hallmark movie on Sunday night and I am so very proud of her, and thrilled that this story has found a home on the Hallmark movie channel!
CJ has been one of my closest friends for over 20 years (we met before we were ever published!) and CJ was one of the founding authors of Tule, along with Megan Crane and Lilian Darcy. It was at CJ’s cottage at Flathead Lake that we planned our Montana Born stories, and mapped out charming little Marietta where CJ’s Bramble House can be found.
This summer I was able to was able to visit the film set in Vancouver with CJ and it was a really special moment to be there with her and watch her story come to life. I’m sharing some of the pictures from this summer on the film set to celebrate, and I’m also celebrating with a $25 Visa gift card and tons of holiday books and sweets and treats.




Do watch Bramble House Christmas this Sunday (set your DVR now!) and enter my special Bramble House Christmas giveaway now!
Can’t wait for the premier. We have the DVR set to record. It is exciting to see Marietta come to life in a movie!!!

Sounds like a wonderful way to start off the holiday season!!!
I know you and CJ had a grand old time visiting the set and filming. Hallmark movies are some of my favorites. I use to watch them with my mom all the time before she passed away. I Loved the book so I know I will love the movie. All the best to you and your family. Enjoy your Thanksgiving this year. 🙂
Congrats on your friend’s movie and I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Oh, darn, I don’t have the movies & mysteries channel on Hallmark, just the regular one. I’m going to miss it.
Congratulations! I will be watching this wonderful movie.
I wish I could watch the movie but since I live in Israel I won’t be able to watch it 🙁
I set my reminder for Sunday! I’m looking so forward to seeing the movie. I can hear my boys now, “Mom, are you really watching Hallmark again?” Hahaha! Yes, I am!
Oh!! Happy Thanksgiving, Jane!
I can’t wait! I’m traveling to a friend’s house to watch it and have a girls’ night!
Liked the book! Hope the movie does it justice. Just pre-ordered your new book. Hope your obsessing over scenes in your new book falls into place soon, and you get some peaceful sleep. Enjoy the holidays!!
Congrats to CJ, I’ll be sure to catch A Bramble House Christmas. Happy Thanksgiving.
DVR set! What an awesome experience and to share it with such a close friend! Looking forward to that and your new release. Happy Thanksgiving!!
I’m the Hallmark Channel Queen in my house, that the household started to tease me. Now, I find them coming into the room,sitting down with me and watching all the heart warming stories. I met CJ years ago at the Calgary Chapter in Alberta. I’m so happy for her and look forward to watching her story come to life on TV. Happy Thanksgiving!
My DVR is set and I can´t with to see it.

I am so excited to watch this movie!! I even re-read the book this week in preparation.
I can’t wait to watch t on Sunday—I’ll just have to catch Pink doing aerial craziness at the AMA’s on YouTube the next day. I can’t miss out on such a lovely book made into what is sure to be a wonderful movie. ❤️❤️❤️
Ugh—it posted too soon! It and not “t.” And this comment has my correct email. I guess I was TOO excited!
This is going to be marvellous viewing. Thank you for sharing the pictures.
I am sooooo SAAAADDDDD (WAAAAH!) My cable provider has Hallmark channel but not the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. I am hoping that Hallmark will upload the movie to its YouTube channel so that I can watch at a later date.
Way most awesome indeed
Love CJ, love you. Thanks for sharing!
I will be watching! I am totally hooked on the Hallmark movies.
