ANOTHER SERIES

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 18:58:40 -0400

Rick posted in his blog today that there will be another 5 book series about a new generation of demigods!!!! With appearences from the main characters of this one!!! He also says that he does not believe in killing the main character, that means Percy will not die!! read the full artical below:

Leaving Portland

I?m sitting in the Portland Airport after an excellent two-day visit. This is my third trip to Portland in the last six months, and the more time I spend here, the more I appreciate the city. I can certainly see how it got its laid-back reputation. Everyone I meet is so casual and friendly and nobody seems in a hurry. Last night we had a public event at a downtown church, sponsored by the Multnomah Library. Over six hundred people came. Sara from the library told me it was the largest such event they had ever hosted. Thanks to Nick and Gina, high schoolers from the teen advisory board, who did a great job introducing me. The crowd was very enthusiastic, and afterwards everyone was so patient and polite even though the line for book signing was well over an hour long.

The kids in the audience had some great questions. I couldn?t tell them much about THE LAST OLYMPIAN, as the story is still top secret, but we did discuss the next Camp Half-Blood series quite a bit. My plan is for another five-book story arc, featuring a new generation of demigods, but with several of the original cast from Percy Jackson making appearances. The big question: ?Does that mean Percy lives?? Well, I should probably be secretive about that, but as a general rule I do not believe in killing off main characters, especially when I?m using a first-person narrator. ?And then I died? just wouldn?t make a very good ending. Special thanks to Nishaa, a young fan who gave me a glass pendant she made and a beautiful portrait of Annabeth (which I would show you if I had a portable scanner). Thanks to everyone who came out for the event ? so many great stories about how people discovered the Percy series!

This morning I did a school event at Parkrose High School. A lot of local middle schools were invited and again we had a crowd of over six hundred kids. Thanks to Ian, another teen advisory member, who wrote a great introduction for me, and to the Multnomah Library for sponsoring my visit. Hopefully I?ll get back to Portland in May for the release of THE LAST OLYMPIAN, though no tour plans have yet been announced.

Now it?s back home for a day, then off to Arkansas to visit Pottsville Middle School, which won the Scholastic Books national contest to get a visit with me!

OH MY GODS

I AM SO EXCITED!!! RICK POSTED AN ARTICAL ON HIS BLOG TO DAY ABOUT THE DEMIGOD FILES!!!!! HERE IS THE ARTICAL:

Coming Feb. 10 to a bookstore near you: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: THE DEMIGOD FILES!

If you can't wait for THE LAST OLYMPIAN to arrive in May, this is the perfect book to tide you over. ("Tide" you over, get it? . . . little Poseidon humor there.)

The Demigod Files feature three Percy Jackson adventure stories to fill you in on what Percy does during the school year. You will see Thalia, Nico, Annabeth and all your favorites, plus cool new monsters, titans and godlings.

The Demigod Files also contain top secret exclusive interviews with characters from the series. What does Annabeth really think of Percy? Who would Clarisse most like to pulverize? What was the Stoll brothers' greatest prank? What magic item would Percy most like to have if he couldn't have Riptide? What is Grover's favorite song to play on the reed pipes? You'll find out the answers to these questions and more only in The Demigod Files.

You'll also get to see pictures of the major characters, a map of camp, and many other cool graphics and games.

Look for The Demigod Files on Feb. 10, and of course remember that Percy 5: THE LAST OLYMPIAN, will be released May 5!

IF YOU CAN'T TELL-I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
