A Goodreads user asked Rick Riordan:

What's the weirdest place you've written parts of a book?

Rick Riordan My classroom, back when I was a full-time teacher, I guess. I would write parts of The Lightning Thief while I was proctoring final exams. I've written in all kinds of cool places since then, though: a cruise ship balcony overlooking Barcelona, a terrace in Paris with a view of the Eiffel Tower, a creepy old mansion/hotel in Grantham, England, and lots and lots of hotel rooms all over the U.S. while I am on a book tour. The one thing I can't do is write while I am in motion, on a train, car, plane, whatever. I get motion sickness. I can't read while moving, either.

Naturinity asked Rick Riordan:

Hello, Rick! I've been wondering if there are any certain requirements for playing as Reyna, or Hylla. I know it's way too early to be asking that, and also we don't know if the show will even get far enough to go to HoO, but if it does, I would like to know what you have to be like, or look like to be either of the Ramiez-Arellano sisters. (I can't figure out where to put a question mark, so heres one: ?)
