This week’s post comes courtesy of a friend. He shared this video of the song, “Trees”, and suggested it as the closing credits track for the as yet imaginary film version of The Scourge. (Thank you, Max, for that vote of confidence.) Have a listen, and see what you think. I think it’s sort of perfect.

The vid comes from the first season of the show Rockstar, where musicians auditioned to become the new front-man for the band INXS. Marty Casey, the contestant who wrote and sang this song, was the runner up. He was the viewers’ choice, but the band chose the other guy. Marty did get to open for INXS during their next tour. Consolation prize.

Speaking of an imaginary film version, another friend asked me who I thought should be cast as the main characters. I have to admit I’m shockingly ignorant of most things Hollywood-related, especially when it comes to young actors. All I could say is whoever plays Fenn will have to be pretty talented to pull off a blind character believably, especially as she is thrown into so many physically challenging situations. Otherwise I’m at a loss.

I’m willing to bet my readers are way more in-the-know than me. So, who do you picture playing Fenn, Peree, or any of the other characters in the novel?
