Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (Ch 17)
In which the novel skirts some BDSM territory…
No money down! No interest for six months! If you don’t recognize that this is someone pleading for their life, then I should probably also tell you that it’s time for part 17 of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief…

Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief (Ch 16)
I’m far more excited about learning something than Percy is, and given the nature of that something, this makes no sense to me. All this and more in the 16th installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief…

Me on Buddy’s Writing Show
Ever caught Buddy’s Writing Show on YouTube? I had the pleasure of being a guest earlier this week, and I had a great time talking about Zeus Is Dead, Twin Peaks, my experience reading the Percy Jackson series, and being a geek.
Buddy’s a fantastic interviewer. Have a look!

Mmmm…cheeseburgers…
It’s a double-rainbow all the way across the country! (So intense!) Or at least it’s a two-way rainbow. In other words, it’s time for part fifteen of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief…

I’m running out of number jokes.

You can’t spell “thirteen” without “teen!”
…or “hi,” I suppose, but…
Percy runs afoul of a St. Louis tourist trap! Yes, it’s time for the thirteenth installment of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief…
I Plunge to My Death
Okay, so I don’t really know what to think about Percy’s dreams at this point. Maybe the thing in the pit really is Kronos, because Annabeth says Hades always appears on a throne. Yet somehow that seems to contradict the idea that whoever it is can give him his mother back. (But perhaps once Kronos is out, he can storm the Underworld and get Percy’s mother? Though I still don’t think she’s technically dead…) Plus, if Hades can use his helmet to melt into darkness, perhaps speaking from the darkness of a pit is still in character? Annabeth doesn’t know everything, after all. Though maybe I’m grasping at straws there. [Read more…]
