Hi, I'm a huge fan and can't wait for the show to come in 2024, but do you ever worry whether the cast will be too old for when season 5 comes(assuming the show gets renewed)? I mean they're already 14, and during season 5, wouldn't the actors be in their late teens-mid 20s while the characters are supposed to be 16? I love the cast btw P.S will you be touring Toronto for Chalice of Gods? Thanks, Che

Not much we can do about how fast kids age! Right now we’re just focused on season one, since that’s the only thing we know is for sure. We’ll just have to carry on as best we can from there depending on what happens. Unlikely I will be in Toronto next tour as I was just there last tour, and we do have to spread things around a bit, but I definitely enjoyed our event there!

You inspired me to read The Iliad and I really love it. Thank you! Though I had read it in my native language (Vietnamese), I still want to try to read it in English. But there're so many English translation version out there. So I just want to ask for your recommendation about The Iliad & Odyssey translation. Like of which translator you prefer the most or something like that...?

Are you optimistic—or at the very least hopeful—about the future market for children's literature in the coming years and decades? While there will always be children who love to read, it seems as though reading among younger generations is declining. What can authors, publishers, or educators do to reinvigorate a child's desire to read, and are there innovative approaches or past successes that give you hope?

Hello! Long time obsessive reader, first time writer. In 2006 when the first book takes place, Percy Jackson is twelve. However, he seems to be 17 still in 2020 in that Christmas special you wrote (unless I’m wrong.) How is time passing differently for characters? Is this a Marvel’s Shifting Timeline Scenario? Thanks for indulging in my overthinking.
