Ray
Ray asked Rick Riordan:

Hi Rick, I just wanted to personally thank you for Gemini Twain. I honestly can't express how much he means to me. To have an LDS character included in a book by such a prolific author, and treated with such respect and care, and see him being loved by other fans as well... like I said. Can't express. I just love him, and I am so grateful (I have to include a question mark for it to let me send it, so :?)

Eloise Thomson
Eloise Thomson asked Rick Riordan:

Hi, Rick, I'm a massive fan of your books, and I was wondering: if you could write a story based upon Christian faith, like your other stories are based upon ancient myths, gods and civilisations, would you?

Britt
Britt asked Rick Riordan:

Perfect timing! I'm updating our Percy Jackson read-alike bookmark for teens - is there something that you would put on it?
