Rick Riordan Live

With everything that was going on last week, it slipped by me to write about our live webcast with Rick Riordan. G.S. Lakie fans and fans from around the world joined Rick as he walked us through the amazing Egyptology exhibit at the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum. As Rick made his way through the exhibit, he explained various artifacts and their significance in Egyptian history and how they played a major role in The Kane Chronicles. The exhibit is set up much like you are exploring an Egyptian tomb yourself, as we traveled along with Rick. Deep inside the exhibit (tomb) Rick used a handheld lamp as he read from The Serpent's Shadow. After hearing that snippet of the story, I'm anxious for more. But I'll let our readers have first crack at it. Rick then answered questions from students all over the world. here's some of the ideas he's working on - wrapping up the Lost Hero's series, developing a story working with Norse mythology, possibly having Percy and Carter meet up? He's one busy author, and I know most of us think that he needs to write even faster!!

The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan

Despite their best efforts Carter and Sade Kane can't seem to keep Apophis, the chaos snake down. Now Apophis is threatening to plunge the world into eternal darkness, and the Kane's are faced with the impossible task of having to destroy him once and for all. Unfortunately, the magicians of the House of Life are on the brink of civil war, the gods are divided, and the young initiates of Brooklyn House stand almost alone against the forces of chaos.
