Blog post
Recently I’ve gotten some questions from readers about why my character Piper McLean from Heroes of Olympus is sometimes described as wearing a feather/feathers in her hair. The concern is understandable. Is this a negative Native stereotype since Piper is half-Cherokee — the daughter of Tristan McLean, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love?
We can certainly talk about that! I can’t always address each question I get individually about any given point in any -
Blog postIn support of the #blackpublishingpower #BlackoutBestsellerList initiative, which encourages folks to buy any two books by Black writers between June 14-June 20, I thought I would pull some of my favorite reviews from GoodReads. There are obviously a ton of other great books to choose from, but if you’re looking for some ideas for books by Black authors, some for kids and some for adults, I loved all of these!

Blog postHappy Pride Month!
Here’s a recap of some of my favorite books by trans/NB authors. Click each image for my GoodReads review. I am always looking for more great books to read and learn from. Do you have favorite LGTBQIA+ books or authors you would recommend? And when in doubt, I like to check Queer Books for Teens, which keeps a great database searchable by gender identity, sexual orientation and own voices!

Blog postSo if you’re feeling overwhelmed with current events, including the killing of George Floyd, you’re certainly not alone. I had to take a couple of days to process and be able to do/say anything constructive rather than just getting angry and depressed.
The best, most productive way I can respond is to encourage people to listen to each other and learn, to try to understand and build compassion and empathy. That doesn’t involve me spouting my opinions or my outrage (although I cer -
Blog posthttp://rickriordan.com/content/uploads/2020/05/Rick-and-Becky-announcement.mp4 Hey Percy Jackson fans, for the past decade, you’ve worked hard to champion a faithful on-screen adaptation of Percy Jackson’s world. Some of you have even suggested it would be a great series for Disney+. We couldn’t agree more! We can’t say much more at this stage but we are very excited about the idea of a live-action series of the highest quality, following the storyline of the original Percy Jackson fiv

Blog postI know you guy are clamoring for Hollywood updates on #DisneyAdaptPercyJackson, and I get it! You guys started that hashtag on Twitter without me even saying anything last fall, and since then it has been really helpful to get people in the film industry to sit up and take notice that there is this thing called “Percy Jackson” and, huh, maybe it could’ve had a better adaptation. Who knew? So thank you for that. Your voice DOES matter.

Blog postMain Building, University College Cork
So the news broke this morning on RTE1 that, yes, for the last two years I’ve been pursuing an online masters degree in Gaelic literature at UCC (University College Cork). Eventually, I plan to write about Irish mythology, but to do so, I first wanted to do my utmost to fill in the gaps of my knowledge and make sure I could do these wonderful stories justice. They are, after all, my own ancestral heritage, and I wanted to approach the mythology w -
Blog postI hope everyone is staying safe and well! I was recently going through my archives and came across this short snippet I wrote back in 2014, shortly after The Blood of Olympus came out. I had teased my fans that I might make the last book nothing but the seven main demigods sitting around eating nachos for five hundred pages. I was also well aware that fans would cry when they read Blood of Olympus (for many reasons) but especially because it went back to the three demigod POVs that started th

Blog postIt’s been a while since I’ve done a round-up of the books I have read, so here’s what has been keeping me entertained, inspired and amazed the past few months. As always, it may appear that I love every book I read, but that’s hardly the case. I just choose not to mention the books I didn’t love or couldn’t finish, because there are enough bad reviews in the world. So let’s concentrate on what I really enjoyed!
Oh, this brilliant fantasy! Set in an intricate quasi-Early Modern world w
