RICK RIORDAN, dubbed “storyteller of the gods” by Publishers Weekly, is
the author of five New York Times #1 best-selling series. He is best known for
his Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, which bring Greek mythology to
life for contemporary readers. He expanded on that series with two more: the
Heroes of Olympus and the Trials of Apollo, which cleverly combine Greek and
Roman gods and heroes with his beloved modern characters. Rick tackled the
ancient Egyptian gods in the magic-filled Kane Chronicles trilogy, and Norse
mythology in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. Millions of fans across the
globe have enjoyed his fast-paced and funny quest adventures as well as his two
#1 best-selling myth collections, Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods and Percy
Jackson’s Greek Heroes. Rick is also the publisher of an imprint at Disney
Hyperion, Rick Riordan Presents, dedicated to finding other authors of highly
entertaining fiction based on world cultures and mythologies. He lives in Boston,
Massachusetts, with his wife and two sons. For more information, go to
