For Barnes and Noble customers, pre-order your signed exclusive edition of THE WILD ZONE between June 23-26 for 25% OFF! Annabelle Oh and I can't wait to share this new adventure of Camp Half-Blood with you, coming out Sept. 29! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-wild-z...

This lemur at the Central Park Zoo was definitely the mood on a hot, humid day in NYC last week.

If you get a chance to see the Rocky Horror Show in NYC, absolutely do. Joyous, fun and wonderfully zany! deadline.com/2026/04/rock...

Wishing everyone a Happy Pride from Boston!

From time to time I'll answer questions over on Goodreads. This was from a fan wondering about the co-authoring process for the upcoming Camp Half-Blood series, so I thought I'd share it here.

The past few weeks, Annabelle Oh and I have been busily signing various special edition pre-orders for The Wild Zone, out September 29. For UK readers, one pre-order option is available at Waterstones: www.waterstones.com/book/from-th...

Just signed some of these incredible Camp Half-Blood maps in various colors, created by artist Victoria Allyn. Who gets the signed ones? TBD. But you'll get some version of the map printed into THE WILD ZONE in Puffin (UK) or Random House Children's (US) editions. The book is out Sept. 29!

Booksellers like to have exclusive editions just for their customers, and interest in CAMP HALF-BLOOD has been so high, I think THE WILD ZONE holds the record for number of different editions. Here are some that will be available in US/Canada. In UK, Waterstones will also have a special edition!

So excited to announce this! If you want to know what the series is about, I sat down for an interview with Percy Jackson to talk about it on my blog: rickriordan.com/2026/05/perc...

Today’s review is sci-fi: “How the heck did this author pack so many wild ideas into one book? An absolutely fascinating and riveting work of speculative fiction.” Full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Another great fantasy novel rec: “What happens to all those children in fantasy novels who come back from fantastic worlds — Lucy from the wardrobe, or Alice from the looking glass? Every Heart a Doorway takes that idea and runs with it.” Full review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Today’s rec from Goodreads: Charles Mann’s 1491 “surveys the breadth and complexity of indigenous cultures in the Americas before the arrival of Columbus. I was blown away by how populated and cultivated the American landscape was in 1491.” My full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Today's book review share from Goodreads: "A great example of a story that you think has been done to death (Arthurian legend), but then along comes Tracy Deonn, who makes it fresh and original, putting new light on the whole body of mythology." My full review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Today's book rec: "takes elements of familiar story lines -- a deal with the Devil, aliens living among us, and the all-too-real struggles of a young trans woman -- and combines them into something completely new, jarring, unexpected and beautiful." My full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

A non-fiction rec today: Partly about African American identity, partly about American education, partly about Zionism, "In the treatment of the Palestinian people, Coates sees a direct extension of the American system of racial oppression." My full review here: www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

Today's review from Goodreads: If you haven't checked out this middle grade fantasy yet, you really should! My full review here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Another review for you: This one a YA adventure. Queer buccaneers on a magical adventure, and since one of the comps was Our Flag Means Death, how could I not give it a try? This voyage into the unknown on a ship full of outsiders is a perfect metaphor for found family.

Sharing a few of the many reviews I have posted on Goodreads, in no particular order. First up: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. "a propulsive horror historical centered around a vampire." Full review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Phew. Just finished the first draft of the third and final new Percy "Senior Year Adventures" book. Still a LONG revision process to go, as always, but nice to have a complete manuscript to work from. Several projects had jumped in front of this, for reasons I'll explain later, but it IS coming.

On set for PJOTV season three this week. It's become a tradition for visitors to get photos of themselves in Atlas' chamber holding up the sky. I can't show you anything about the set, but Becky made this sticker for your enjoyment. And look, my hair turned gray! Oh, wait...

Nunca he visto un Super Bowl, pero vi el espectáculo del descanso esta mañana y me encantó. ¡Gracias, Bad Bunny!

May we have this dance? A first glimpse of Percy Jackson Season 3, coming this Year! All Season Two Episodes are available now to binge on Disney+ and Hulu.

PJOTV 205 memories: Behold, the offending parrot! He enjoyed shrieking at the most inopportune times during the filming of C.C.'s Spa. Also in the animals' tent, a collection of Percy pigs, er. guinea pigs, and a cute cat. As far as I know, none of these used to be human.

PJOTV 204 memories: Some more inside shots of Clarisse's ironclad, with details you might miss just watching the episode. I was on set during the Sea of Monsters scene, the ship rocking, waves crashing, sailors getting tossed around -- all on a sound stage, but still scary!

PJOTV 203 memories: I got tours of two very different ships and met their captains. First, Clarisse's ironclad. The way the design team constructed a full-sized warship on a sound stage was impressive enough. And then the details they put in the interior to make it feel authentic, WOW.

So many amazing authors and books on this list! It's an honor to be mentioned with them, and I heartily recommend them all! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/b...

Timeline cleanse: please enjoy this panda eating breakfast at the Madrid zoo.

Nice try, Madrid cafe. Lotus-flavored cookies? I've read this myth . . .

PJOTV 201 and 202 memories: 201, first day of filming, poor Walker doing the 'wake up from a nightmare' scene, falling out of bed over and over again, poor guy. 202: Can we interest you in a used chariot? This Poseidon beauty was only driven once. Or Becky can make you a deal on this Ares model!

Percy Jackson on Fortnite! I can't believe it's real, and it looks amazing. Going live Dec. 9, just in time for season two!

Amazing way to start the day, even if it's a bit disorienting to watch an early producers' cut of PJOTV 301 when 201 is still a week away. This is SO unfair to tease you with, but DAM. Season three is going to rock your world. Fortunately, so will season two starting Dec. 10!

Had a great time at the season two premiere for PJOTV at the Academy Museum in LA. Video gives you a glimpse of the after party set-up just before all the guests arrived. The season drops Dec. 10!

After gathering input from many, Mary Robinette is sharing a great list of works featuring / focusing on people who use wheelchairs. The list starts here, but scroll down for more works and up for the original request (and the replies thereto).

Doing a press junket today for season two and staring at this poster all day. They're like, "You're gonna say nice things, right?" Fortunately yes, I have only nice things to say. 😊

Indigo customers: Honored to be the author of the month! All my titles are 25% this month, including this beautiful Sea of Monsters deluxe edition, just in time for season two! www.indigo.ca/en-ca/books/...
