Debra Clopton's OPERATION: MARRIED BY CHRISTMAS--ABC Family Movie Starring LeAnn Rimes

Yes, some very exciting news for any fans of my Mule Hollow Series! Operation: Married By Christmas has been optioned by VAST Entertainment for an ABC Family movie starring LeAnn Rimes! Yes, there is still a chance that it could fall through but Vast Entertainment is excited about it as are all those involved. We very well could see Mule Hollow come to life soon! I am thrilled with the idea and very excited about the idea of LeAnn Rimes playing the role of Haley Bell Thornton–she would be wonderful bringing Haley to life. Check it out at http://www.vast-entertainment.com/home/index.php The wonderful reality is that it has been: Optioned by Vast.  Picked up by Orly Adelson.  Distributed through ABC. And the lead is Lead: LeAnne Rimes.

Reviews from RT Magazine

About “Operation: Married by Christmas”: Right from the outset Debra Clopton’s story is a fun-loving book, but in “Operation: Married by Christmas”, it is the deeper matters of the heart that Will and Haley must face. While there’s humor, there’s also a wonderful level of tenderness – a feeling of coming home – that makes this book complete. — Robin Taylor, Romantic Times – 4 1/2 stars

Hey Debra,
I am beyond excited about this! I think I’ve told you before that Operation: Married by Christmas is the first Love Inspired book I ever read. The second was A Dropped Stitches Christmas by Janet Tronstad. How nerdy am I that I remember these things? ha. Anyway, I’d love to see your great book on ABC Family. Soooo exciting! I’m thrilled for you and pray that it comes to fruition.
Blessings,
Teri

Beyond thrilled for you. And for me, as a lover of Christmas movies. The crop this Christmas was quite sad … yours will definitely up the quality quotient, as long as the prodco doesn’t muck up the movie!

Debra, so excited for you! I told my husband about this when I first heard about it awhile ago! We loved watching these holiday movies together. He was happy about it and excited that I knew you! We hope it all comes together and works out! I’ve read every one of your books so I would be ecstatic if all your books were movies!

Super excited for you! Love watching God use you and I love that He is clearly visible in all you do and say. I say they film it in Madisonville TX! They wouldn’t have to look far for some “real characters”… When I reflect back on my life, many of my favorite times, friends, memories…are all from home…Madisonville. Everyone should GET to spend just one day there. They would feel the love from everyone for sure. Keep those books flowing! We love them and we love you!

I have loved and read all of your Mule Hollow books and have also read the first book in the Cowboy’s of Sunrise Ranch. I only wish there were more Mule Hollow books to come! I will be watching out for the movie. I absolutely love to watch Christmas movies and I know that if they do the book justice, it will be a great one. Congratulations and will continue to watch for all of your books!
