Speaking of casting movies from my books, I’ve always thought that if they made a Tesla’s Stepdaughters movie, they should cast some real rock stars as The Ladybugs.

I think that Lykke Li would probably make a good Ep!phanee.  First, she has a slightly pixy-ish quality that works with that character.  Second, she is Swedish, and Ep!phanee is a Swedish-American and retains a not-quite-American accent.  Finally, Ep!phanee is described as having an unusual slightly annoying speaking voice (although she has a huge vocal range when singing).  I always thought of Bjork’s voice when I was writing Ep!phanee.  If you listen to Lykke Li’s song “Let if Fall” (which I really like) you can get a sense of an unusual voice.  Also that song is a little unusual– not quite mainstream– which is just the kind of thing that Ep!phanee did in her solo albums.
