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.

It's been an amazing season so far! If you're a binge-watcher, which I totally get, the whole second season will be available on Disney+ on Jan. 21! www.thewrap.com/media-platfo...

@xfdpodcast.bsky.social listened to an incredible episode of a podcast called Tetragrammaton that had Chris on and he once again brought up the ‘clue’ no one’s picked up on, but he gives some more context…thought it would be fun to noodle on!

Saddened at the loss of Mark Snow - contributed so much to the wonderful fabric of my touchstone show. This is one of my favorite scenes and bit of score he composed. 👽

My editor tells me that Percy Jackson has hit 780 weeks / 15 years on the New York Times children's series bestseller list. Wow. Thanks to everyone who has let Percy be part of their lives! Also renewing my call for the NYT to create a debut book bestseller category, so we can highlight new authors.

Optimistic!

Sometimes you just read something so beautiful you have to sit with it. From Mary Renault’s “The Persian Boy.”

In today's edition of "Rick cleans out his files," photos from my 5th/6th grade English class at Presidio Hill School, San Francisco, 1992. Guess you could say I've been teaching Greek mythology for a while. Funny thing? I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I remember every student's name.

Yesss please ☀️⭐️

Gonna be a good one!

Great crew of Percy pods right here! 🔱

Can’t wait! 💙🔱

Enjoy this episode!

NYT crossword puzzle, 31 across, "Only 10% of Americans have one." Five letters. I resist the urge. I tell myself, "The answer isn't 'brain.' The answer can't be 'brain.'"

NEW EPISODE! Annie & Jenn conclude their interview with Darin Morgan... we talk of dogs, Jesse Ventura, Trump, and much more! #TheXFiles #podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/1...

Back in Boston just in time for the big freeze. Heartfelt thanks to the cast and crew of PJOTV as they near wrapping on season two! As for me, I plan on staying by the fireplace and reading. If you're curious, you can always check my recent reviews on Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/review/list/...

@edwardunderhill.bsky.social fantastic read - and I especially adored the Percy Jackson love!

Great to be back on set in Vancouver with the PJOTV cast and crew as they head into the home stretch of principal photography. Still many months of post-production work to do after we wrap, but the sets look amazing and the actors are working like, well, heroes to bring you an awesome season two!

Check out @prisseusjackson.bsky.social and myself talking all things Percy and these iconic chapters of The Lightning Thief!

Happy birthday to our own Percy Jackson, Walker Scobell, who is sixteen today! (even though his character will not be allowed to turn sixteen for several more seasons 😬) Can't wait for you all to see the work he is doing for PJOTV season two, because he is crushing it!

Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm giving away 4 Sherlock Society Gift Packs. (Signed book, enamel pin, and holiday card.) One each on FB, X, IG, and Bluesky. Repost and you're entered for a chance to win. I'll randomly select the winners this weekend!

Not sure what to post here, but thought this quote from “Sea of Monsters” was appropriate! #PercyJackson
