Guadalupe asked Rick Riordan:

Hi Rick! First, congratulations! I wanted to thank you. By creating characters from the LGTB community, from different religions and also latinos, you make your readers be able to identify even more with your books. Because of your stories I have learned and loved mithology. And I wanted to know: would you write new series from Latin American mithology, maybe about South Americans gods like Pachamama?

Rick Riordan We just started an new imprint at Disney called Rick Riordan Presents. The idea is to find authentic voices to tell the stories about their own cultures, rather than me, a white American male, trying to tell all their mythologies myself. I think that's the better way to go. I love all world mythologies, but I am not an expert on all of them, nor was I raised with all them the way I grew up with Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian.
