Richard Russell "Rick" Riordan, is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and former teacher of English and History. His career started with teaching in various schools in Texas, after earning h I s double major from the University of Texas at Austin. His favorite subject that he taught in almost every class was Mythology, since he enjoyed it and most students really enjoyed it. That interest gave way to his very popular series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Kane Chronicles, a trilogy focusing on Egyptian mythology. In 2014 came The Heroes of Olympus, which was the sequel to the Percy Jackson series about Roman and Greek mythology.
Twentieth Century Fox purchased the rights to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and released a full feature film in February of 2010. Riordan has written many successful book series for children and adults. His newest series, Magnus Chase and the God's of Asgard begins in October of 2015, with the release of the first book, The Sword of Summer, focusing on Norse mythology.
Riordan lives in Boston with his wife and their two sons, who inspired the Percy Jackson series through its beginnings as a bedtime story.

And it won awards in 1998. So it is kinda amazing that he turned his brilliance to young adult books.......more
What I liked about this book is that Riordan authentically knows San Antonio. Anyone who has lived there any time at all can follow in the mind's eye the travels around town, can taste the food at the restaurants, can rejoice that the speed trap is no longer in that spot, can appreciate the precise......more
I cannot imagine the pleasure of having a bestselling genius like Rick Riordan as your literature teacher, but i think the rate of cutting classes must be real low and the energy in the class high... Tres Navarre, seems the poor guy doesn't get any slack in this series at all, in a way the writing re......more
Riordan ma świetny styl pisania - przyjazny, łatwy, połączenie akcji z humorem, co rzadko się zdarza. Widać, że potrafi pisać nie tylko dobre młodzieżówki. Bohater, którego wszyscy chcą zabić, a ty go polubisz (i jego kota) Sięgne po kolejne książki.......more
