(spin-off from Parker Harris)

Crispin Sinclair isn't your average teenage boy. He inherited precognitive dreams from his mother who died during childbirth. His other unique quality was inherited from his father; Crispin is a werewolf. Growing up as a supernatural being in a world that doesn't know they exist is difficult to say the least. Crispin's been lucky that his family is made up of supernaturals; witches, vampires, and werewolves. As he begins to obtain his werewolf abilities, his life will be thrown into turmoil placing everyone he loves in danger.

Amytha Roberts feels like the most ordinary girl in the world. She was adopted at age five but not by your traditional idea of parents; her mom's a werewolf and her dad's a vampire. Amytha's best friend Crispin is a werewolf with futuristic dream abilities, while she is a normal sixteen year old girl surrounded by paranormal beings. Stories of Amytha's past begin to surface causing her family to investigate more into where she came from.


Crispin and Amytha take turns telling this story of being in a family that you choose, being abnormal in a normal world, and the importance of friendship. Together they will go on adventures into a faraway place where they'll encounter new creatures and discover truths they never imagined.


 


My Dream Cast for The Parker Harris Series:



Parker Harris: Laura Spencer: I first noticed this actress on Switched at Birth and I thought, "Wow, she looks like my Parker." After that thought they introduced her character name…Parker. It seemed like fate!



Quinn Roberts: Ian Somerhalder. Quinn was fashioned after him. In fact, Vampire Diaries is the show that helped me start writing and to chose paranormal. This picture of him is spot on for the picture I have in my head of Quinn, except with emerald green eyes.



Jackie Martin: Emma Watson. I am a true Harry Potter fan and have loved Emma Watson as an actress from the first time I saw her. Everything she has done since the phenomenal series has proven even more what an amazing actress she is. She would be my absolute first choice for Jackie.



Mitchell Davis: Liam Hemsworth. Mitchell is a heartthrob and a sweetheart and there is no one that I would love to play him more than Liam.




Charisma Sinclair: Charisma Carpenter. Who better to play this character than the person who inspired her name! Not to mention I think quite highly of this actress.




Crispin: Griffin Kunitz from Days of Our Lives. This kid is adorable and a great actor. He'd be perfect as Crispin. All he needs are green eyes.


Alexis/Lexi: Julianne Hough. I don't really have a reason other than she is adorable and I picture Lexi looking like her. She's also proven her acting talents that make me think she could handle the ups and downs of Lexi's role.


For the Crispin Sinclair Chronicles (the Spin-off)….



Teenage Crispin: Andrew Garfield. Crispin as a teen is a bit awkward, a bit nerdy, but still a cutie pie; much like the adorable Andrew Garfield.




Amytha Roberts: Abigail Breslin. I've seen this actress play spunky roles which is the way Amytha is.



Penny Sawyer: Taylor Momsen. Penny is a new character introduced in the Novella, The Cold Moon and she becomes a vital character in Crispin's story.
