YOU KNOW HIM AS: THE AUTHOR OF PERCY JACKSON SERIES

It's not easy. I got lots of rejections when I first started out. If you want to write, you have to believe in yourself and not give up. You have to do your best to practice and get better."

"When I write, I'm still imagining a kid reading it on paper. I read e- books when I travel, but in general I still prefer holding an old- fashioned book in my hands. There's a special, tactile experience.

"I think kids have a greater capacity for processing things than we give them credit for."
-Rick Riordan

"I wrote ten years before I even started the 'Percy Jackson' series.
-Rick Riordan
"The Mest is such a powerful place for me because it's a natural connection between ancient world and the modern world. And whe you're dealing with ancient mythology, try to put a modern spin on it, you really can't do much better than to call the Met."
{A/N: Met- Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City}
-Rick Riordan
"Hercules, huh? Percy frowned. "That guys was like Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn, there he is."
