In Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you spell Mother Earth's name "Gaia". Then, in the Heroes of Olympus it's "Gaea". Is there any specific reason why you switched?

I felt like it.

Hello! I love your work (even though it's made me cry multiple times) and I can relate to many of the characters so I have three questions 1) How do you make your characters so relatable? 2) Are you going to add another trans person besides Alex? 3) Will there be a second Percy Jackson musical I'm sorry for asking

Rick Riordan:
Hey, Rick? I just want to thank you for writing Nico, Will, and all the other queer kids in your books. I grew up on books that all made LGBTQ look like it was a sin, so seeing my favorite character from my favorite childhood series come out as gay was wonderful, especially now that he's gonna be having his own book. Being able to relate to a character in that way was such a great feeling for the 8-year-old me

Hi! I'm a fan from Iran and I really feel like I need to say this on behalf of all of ur Iranian fans: Thank u. Thank u for all these years and all these beautiful memories. And I must ask, do u have a close Muslim friend? cuz u get Muslims perfectly. I don't consider myself as a religious person but I am a Muslim girl and I've been reading ur books about gods for the last 10 years, and I see them just as Sam does!
