As was previously said, this page is not meant for contacting Rick Riordan. If you would like to contact him, you could write to his publisher. Zussman1 (talk) 21:00, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Edited Written Percy Jackson Series

Rick Riordan did not write the ultimate guide. It was written by Mary-Jane Knight. If you don't believe me, look at the copyright page of The Ultimate Guide. They probably didn't put her name on the front so buyers could be tricked into thinking it was written by Rick Riordan.KF5LLG (talk) 23:15, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Took care of it; thanks for pointing it out. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 05:31, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation of Riordan's name

It's "RYE-er-dun." See a Library of Congress video-- "Rick Riordan - 2009 National Book Festival"-- at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPz5SQ5gkck. Cullinane (talk) 17:39, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

You are correct, and you can also confirm the author's own pronunciation at http://www.adlit.org/articles/authors/riordan/. The pronunciation RYE-er-dun written in IPA is /ˈraɪərdən/. It was previously written incorrectly in the article as /ˈraɪərˌdɛn/, which would imply that the final syllable gets a secondary stress and rhymes with 'men', which is not the case. So I corrected it. Iceager (talk) 21:11, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Book 5's title is not officially revealed.

How are people here and on the Heroes of Olympus page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heroes_of_Olympus) saying that Book 5 is "The Doors of Death"? Rick Riordan's official site - http://www.rickriordan.com/my-books/percy-jackson/heroes-of-olympus.aspx does not say anything about the title, only that it will be released in Fall 2014. Please reply if you know otherwise and give a citation. Or I will replace the title with simply "Book 5", since there is not even a working title divulged by the author. Adityarajbhatt (talk) 14:11, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

This is probably similar to the situation in the thread above, in which the fourth novel revealed the fifth's title before any other source. Nevertheless, I agree with Adityarajbhatt's course of action; we should wait for official announcements from Riordan's site or publishers, per WP:CRYSTAL. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 09:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean by your first sentence? The fourth novel has not been released yet. Assuming you meant the third novel, I would be fine with taking that as a source if it reavealed the fourth's name before it was updated on Rick's site. However, "The House of Hades" has not been released yet so we still do not know the fifth's name (widely rumored to be "The Doors of Death"). Adityarajbhatt (talk) 11:09, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Ah, my mistake. In that case, Doors of Death should not be on the page at all. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 01:37, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the fifth book is called the blood of olympus.-LEM1227— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.14.119 (talk) 18:50, 21 February 2014‎

Hi!

I wanted to edit this page and add that Rick Riordan's wife name is Becky, but the page is protected so I wonder if an administratow could do it instead of me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackPrim (talk • contribs) 19:55, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Done I've added a source, too; reliable secondary sources should back up everything added to Wikipedia. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 06:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Prose Form: Please Correct It!

"The Son of Sobek" and "The Staff of Serapis" are not a mini novel and not a novel. The literary form is called short story which is one of the major literary forms besides novels.
For those who don't know: Short Stories are still called short stories even if they have more than 100 pages. It's not really about how long such a story is, it's about what literary techniques are used. Literature 101, probably every university teaches it in the first term.

Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo

I'm unable to edit the page, so can an admin please add Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo to the list of works by Mr Riordan. This is a short story, published in the Guys Read: Other Worlds anthology. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.216.247.156 (talk) 12:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

The short story was also published in ebook form. How should we put it in here? Your call. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 05:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Graphic Novel: The lost Hero

The lost hero graphic novel has reeleased. please add it too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.6.224.2 (talk) 09:46, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Full name

Is there a source for "Richard Russell Riordan, Jr."?

We give one source for the lead sentence, whose superscript "[1]" follows the parenthetical birthdate. The link to so-called "ID Card" at Puffin Books is dead, but here is a copy of the entire target page archived 2014-10-11 [1].

Life and career (and lead)

There is very little biography here in section 1, Life and career. Meanwhile there is too much in the lead section. Some reorganization is appropriate.

I added some to the very little biography using source [ref name=athena] that is new here (June 2013 move to Boston and 28th wedding anniversary). And consolidated that material at section 1, new paragraph two. And moved details of the three section 1 biographical refs down to References, which reduces clutter. I did not touch the long lead that includes move biography.

These changes are much easier to see at once, diff spanning 5 midnight versions. --P64 (talk) 00:59, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

i need help with my school project on rick riordan please submit FACTS — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.177.175.55 (talk) 16:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

• This is not really the right place to ask for help; this page is for discussing improvements to Rick Riordan. However, anything you find on this article is fact-checked. The best thing you can do for a project is to follow the links in the "References" section. Please keep this in mind for the future, and consider a more appropriate place to pose questions. Thank you. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 03:48, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

First reference, "Rick Riordan ID card" has broken link 209.174.171.154 (talk) 17:46, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

I have added the {{deadlink}} tag. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:54, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

Life in Boston

Rick and his family moved to Boston because Haley, not Patrick, was starting college there. Haley was born on September 10, 1994 and would have been 18 when they moved, while Patrick is 4 years younger and was just starting high school. LoganDowlen96 (talk) 01:40, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 12 February 2019

When talking about Rick and his family moving to Boston, it should say that his older son Haley, not his younger son Patrick, was starting college there. 2600:1004:B100:7A3:CD23:5EB:C814:8B85 (talk) 10:51, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I didn't see this mentioned in either of the two sources we currently have. Roadguy2 (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

 Done Apologize for not reading the second source's first paragraph closely enough. Change made. Roadguy2 (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Redirecting templates

Is there any reason for using the redirecting templates "Percy Jackson", "Kane Chronicles" and "Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard" insted of the general "Template:Rick Riordan" at the bottom of the page? The way it currently is, shows three equal collapsed templates. It seems they were once separated, but have since been merged. I've changed it, if there was a reason, I'll revert it.

Incorrect Link

In the table of Rick Riordan Presents books the link to Race To The Sun does not link to an article about that book but to an unrelated bicycle race that takes place in France. This should be fixed but I don't know how to do that. 47.14.57.138 (talk) 01:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that, I've fixed the wikilink. Schazjmd (talk) 13:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

magnus chase series

Are you still writing the fourth book? I'm very eager to see what happens to Alex and Magnus as a unnophiall couple and how ragnarok will end. I've already read all of your other books, they were all awesome, so far, so is this series!
