In May, 2019, I "got the call" (actually an email) informing me that my book Dandelion Wishes was going to be made into a TV movie by BrainPower. In October, my husband and I visited the film set. If you've never seen a film or TV production, you wouldn't appreciate the organization. There are crews everywhere to do everything from resetting scene props to touching up hair and make-up to advising the director as to how much time is left before they need to move on. There are caterers and crew to repark cars in a scene or transport authors visiting the set. With just 6 weeks to shoot, there isn't much time to ad lib. I'm often asked if the movie is close to the film. I'd have to say yes. Yes, the plot was tweaked. Yes, the hero only had 1 business partner, not 2. But the emotional conflict was the same. I heard actress Amber Marshall say my words before that all important kiss. The team made decisions to honor my story and provide an entertaining 90 minutes. I couldn't be happier! #booktomovie #loveinharmonyvalley
