See? I’m not the only one to have envisioned Medusa as a seductress. It looks like Uma Thurmond got the role of the Gorgon in the new Percy Jackson movie. My favorite quote of the article was this one:

How alluring is Uma Thurman? “She’s someone who’s so sensual and seductive,” filmmaker Chris Columbus says, “that you’ll look into her eyes and forget that she has 75 snakes on her head.”

If the gorgon on my cover for MIDNIGHT MEDUSA can look like a freckled Irishwoman, then why can’t Medusa be all Nordic blond like Uma?
