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 also tackled the ancient Egyptian gods in the magic-filled Kane
Chronicles trilogy, and Norse mythology in the otherworldly Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
series. 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 lives in Boston, Massachusetts, with his wife and two sons. For more information, go to
