Busy, busy

Publishers Weekly is offering an exclusive sneak peek at the cover for The Mark of Athena, the third (or eighth, depending on how you look at it) installment in Rick Riordan's best-selling "Heroes of Olympus" series. The article also brings us up-to-date on Riordan's various projects, which apparently include a Percy Jackson short story for Guys Read, the web-based literacy program, and getting his next series (which will focus on Norse mythology) rolling.

Note: As of yesterday, you can read the first chapter of The Mark of Athena on the books' official website. Enjoy, fellow Riordan nerds!
