When Lori and I decided on the name for our main Hazel Moon character, November Rainer Savitchian, the inspiration came from knowing a good friend who was Armenian and recognizing that many minorities feel the sting of discrimination during their lives. We wanted to address that issue through our character of November.
Well, I guess Great Minds Think Alike because...
Our recent Facebook post:
CBS writers "borrowed" our character idea!! In the new CBS YA film, Middle School, an Armenian boy, Rafe Katchadorian, can't stand all the regimentation and rules and decides to rebel...sounds a little like our beloved rebel, November Rainer Savitchian!!! Go CBS!! Of course, James Patterson, the author of the Middle School book series came up with the idea first, but honestly we did not know about "Rafe" when creating our character, November.
Here's a summary of the series: Imaginative quiet teenager Rafe Katchadorian is tired of his middle school's obsession with the rules at the expense of any and all creativity. Desperate to shake things up, Rafe and his best friends have come up with a plan: break every single rule in the school and let the students run wild.
PS Note, the film is based on a bestselling book series, which reminds us that if we want our dream to come true, to have a film made based on our Hazel Moon series, we've got to find a wider and growing audience of avid readers!
