4 His Books

5 Did you like teaching? Why does it take you a year to write books? What was your inspiration for Percy Jackson and the Olympians? Yes he did. I read that he is writing as fast as he can, but he doesn't want to sacrifice quality. He wants the book to be done faster to and he will try to speed up his writing. His inspiration for writing this series was his older son's asking him to write story's about the Greek gods and new heroes. Questions I had

6 Extras In Ricks books, he looks over old Greek mythology and re-writes it in his image. His sons names are Haley and Patrick. All of his books are his favorite, he sais its like choosing your favorite kid. In his spare time, he likes to read, swim, play guitar, and travel with his family. The Heroes of Olympus is #1 in the U.S. In the first Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Percy is ADHD and dyslectic, the reason for this is because his son was being tested for ADHD and dyslexia.
