Did you all see this yet? When I told you I thought PJOTV season two would be even better, this is what I meant. And yes, the wedding dress is coming. Just wait. See you December 10 on Disney+!

Ciao, Milano! La nostra prima volta in città!

Grazie a Lucca e tutti i fan!

In Museo Novecento, an old edition of "Pro Familia." Fascists: the party of "family values" since at least the 1930s.

Our dog Speedy on the bed, covering her ear with her paw.

Speedy says, "What do you mean Dad is going to Italy next week? I don't want to hear it!" Will miss this sweet girl, but looking forward to Lucca Comics, too!

Italian never ceases to surprise me. I learned a new way to say: "Good luck." / "Thanks."
"In culo alla ballena." / "Speriamo che non caghi."
Literally: "Into the butt of the whale." / "Let's hope it doesn't poop."
I have no idea where that saying came from, but it certainly does the job.

Court of Dead cover, Barnes and Noble edition.

Jasmine is Haunted Cover.

Two weeks at #1 now on the middle-grade bestseller list for THE COURT OF THE DEAD. Thank you, readers, for embracing this story! Also a great opportunity to check out my co-author Mark Oshiro's other fantastic novels, like JASMINE IS HAUNTED, if you haven't yet!

Rick Riordan talks getting children to read "The Book Case" podcast hosts Kate and Charlie Gibson discuss with the Percy Jackson series author how to keep young children turning pages.

Had a nice talk with Good Morning America's "Book Case" and Katherine Rundell (of the amazing Impossible Creatures series) about getting kids to read. www.goodmorningamerica.com/video/126397...

Hanging out on set with Zoë Nightshade (Saara Chaudry)! Notice her copy of The Titan's Curse, heavily annotated with post-it notes where she has marked "Zoë-isms," the sign of a true professional!

Happy birthday to Virginia Kull, our very own Sally Jackson! May your day be filled with happiness and home-baked blue goodies!

Back on set for season three! Just stood in line for sandwiches behind a spartoi and a Hunter of Artemis. Just another day at the office. 🙂 #percyjackson
