Like most things in my life, this started as a joke; that Atticus (who lovingly talks to his plants) and Crowley would be on totally opposite ends of the same scale ... and what if they met?

“The howl of a demon in pain can often be heard miles away but people barely recognise it as what it is. It manifests as an unsettling feeling that something is going to go wrong soon. Being of the same stock, angels can hear and feel it, but one angel in particular had never thought that it would come to this when he suggested that Crowley should go to the local garden club.“
These questions were answered with a plot twist. The Atticus McLaren Mysteries are going to be made into a TV series which is going to consist of six episodes - roughly an hour each.
The production of "The Atticus McLaren Series" is in its baby steps and to date still needs a little bit of funding. If you are interested in helping the project along visit their "Seed and Sparks" page: https://www.seedandspark.com/fund/the-atticus-mclaren-mysteries

“The Atticus McLaren Mysteries started two years ago as a series of novellas. I'd been seeing disability representation on the rise and thought it would be nice to have a book series about an adult autistic character whose story didn't revolve around his autism. So, Atticus was born. Then Atticus turned out to be a lot like me, Spring Horton, your screenwriter and director for this series. He's an archaeologist, who works in a museum, and just happens to (usually accidentally) get involved in solving crimes.
It didn't take long for me to realize that it would make a good TV show too. I just happened to have an MA in directing and knew a lot of actors. Not that that was the original plan. I thought about simply selling the script, but eventually realized that I'd rather make this show myself. So, after a lot of discussion with my colleagues, that's exactly what we decided to do!
After a year of planning, here we are. We started our own production company, Divergence Productions, figured out when and where to film, even managed to attract some fans and actors to help us out, went through a few growing pains, and are now ready to share Atticus with you.
Representation was something that was always important to us. Many of us are autistic ourselves or have a family member who is, but many of us are part of the LGBT community too and it was just as important that this was represented in our story as well. Most of the main characters, including Atticus and his best friend Freddy Spinner are LGBT. We have a transgender character being played by a transgender actor as well as a transgender cinematographer. On top of that, all of the creative heads are either female, transgender, or non-binary. We are looking to push the envelope both on-screen and off.
One challenge has been that this story was always set in the UK. Luckily, most of the cast and crew are there as well, but some of us are in the US. This has led to some very creative management fixes and me, as producer, relying heavily on the generous work of my cast and crew to get a lot of things done for me. With funding in place, those of us in the US will be able to go to Edinburgh to scout locations and get together to finally get the ball rolling. We will be filming in the great city of Edinburgh, as well as the surrounding areas, Portobello and other beaches, and the city's green spaces.
We really hope you decide to take Atticus' journey with him. We'll be posting updates (hopefully daily) that will let you get to know the cast and crew and the story or our hero!”
