Rick Riordan

It's always hard to wrap up a series. The longer I spend with the characters, the more they become like friends.

It is true that I once refused to eat haggis in Scotland and this did not sit well with the local population.

I saw 'The 39 Clues' as a potential vehicle for doing some education in a fun way - to take some of these amazing stories from history, dust them off and make them alive.

I don't like to get in front of people.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.
