Percy is a half-blood half-god (his father is Poseidon) and half-human. The fact that he is a Texas author and hails from my home town of San Antonio makes the gloating that much better. Rowling of Harry Potter fame is trying to do it with The Tales of Beetle the Bard (the book is not yet out, so the the jury is still out).īut the best ‘cross-over artist’ I’ve come across so far is Rick Riordan, whose Percy Jackson YA books are just as entertaining as his adult Tres Navarre series. Stephenie Meyer of the Twilight series tried to move to adult fiction with The Host, which was close to a Stargate clone and not very satisfying Ms. Writing for both the adult and young adult (YA) successfully is difficult, though many authors are trying to cross that gap these days. The Lightning Thief is book one in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.
