Interview of author Rick Riordan
Rick Riordan, author of the "Tres Navarre" series of detective novels, talks about his teaching and writing careers, his life in San Antonio, and the need to write authentically about real places, people, language, culture, and history. He discusses his characters and the situations in which he places them, his own limits in writing about social injustice from which he has not suffered, but being familiar with life in San Antonio and the multicultural environment in the community. Riordan is also known for writing the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" series. Riordan is interviewed by Diana Rivera at the 2005 Left Coast Crime Conference held in El Paso, Texas.
