Percy in Brazil

The Last Olympian was recently released in Brazil to coincide with Percy Jackson's birthday, August 18. Thanks to my Brazilian publisher Intrinseca for sharing the pictures above, showing some of the many parties at bookstores around the country for the release. I particularly like the blue birthday cake for Percy!

It's been such an honor seeing the Percy Jackson series translated into so many languages and reaching so many kids around the world. Certainly, my fans in Brazil have been among the most enthusiastic. I understand The Last Olympian debuted at #1 on Brazil's VEJA best-seller list. Wow!

Thanks to all you readers in Brazil. I'm sorry I couldn't be with you in person for the release, but I'm hard at work writing the next series. And don't worry, they will be published in Brazil as soon as possible!

Lost Hero UK Edition

I always find it fascinating how different covers can be from one country to another. Above is the UK cover for The Lost Hero. The book will be published in the UK (and Australia, New Zealand and Canada) on October 12, the same date it will be available in the US. I'm very excited about it and am looking forward to visiting England at the end of October to promote the book. I'll post more details when I have them.
