Have you always wanted to become an author?

More Answered Questions

Maple wolf R.G
Maple wolf R.G asked Rick Riordan:

Where did Nico get his iconic Stygian Iron sword, and what would happen if he accidentally cut himself with it? Would his soul get sucked in? That would be unsettling. And is the Nico di Angelo adventure series going to be a trilogy, or is Court of the Dead the last book? (BTW, I love Solangelo, and I've read TSATS so many times that I can recall it scene to scene. Thank you for creating Will Solace. Nico needed him.)

KC
KC asked Rick Riordan:

Will Percy come out in your newest book, The Sword of Summer?

Kruizzer Alvarez
Kruizzer Alvarez asked Rick Riordan:

Why did you write Percy Jackson & The Olympians for middle grade? I think, the concept has so much potential for Young Adult or Adult writing- don't you think so?
