Rick Riordan, author of the upcoming third installment in the Heroes of Olympus series, titled Mark of Athena, has announced which cities he’ll be hitting on his latest book tour.
Riordan has said that he usually likes to visit a good mixture of places, including areas that he has never been to and areas that he hasn’t gone to in a while. Because his last tour was mostly centered around the West Coast, he’s going to be heading over to the East Coast, as well as down South.
