<Subject>A Note from Rick Riordan</Subject>
<Synopsis>Father Rick Riordan explains the relationship between son Haley Riordan, who is 16 years old at the time of writing, and Percy Jackson--both the fictional character who is also 16 now and the father’s <a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pe.cgi?28528">Percy Jackson Universe</a> mythological fantasy series. Percy Jackson and the Olympians began as stories for Haley Riordan, who now contributes essential material to the fantasy.</Synopsis>
<Note>This note immediately precedes "Son of Magic" by Haley Riordan, as first published in <i>The Demigod Diaries</i> (<a href="http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?389472">2012, first</a>), which is considered a collection by Rick Riordan. In fact the story by Haley Riordan is the last and longest item in the collection.</Note>
