To accompany the three series I've just finished talking about, Rick Riordan has written a number of smaller books that contain short stories and informational tidbits that add to the overall series they are a part of.
To mention all of them would take way too long, so I'll just mention a few.
The Demigod Files contains a few games, interviews, and short stories. It probably takes place sometime after The Battle of the Labyrinth, but definitely before The Last Olympian. The short stories are in Percy's first-person perspective, like the series it accompanies.
The Kane Chronicles Survival Guide is a book I have not read, but it seems as though the layout of the book might be similar to the last book I mentioned. And of course, this book is part of the Kane Chronicles series.
The Demigod Diaries is a book also containing short stories, though there were also puzzles for the readers themselves, similar to The Demigod Files. And, this book had one story that I never expected: an entry from Luke's diary in the days when he and Thalia were half-bloods without a home, running across the country fighting any and all monsters. The last story is what dates this book, though; it shows a mishap during the time between the first and second books of The Heroes of Olympus.
And if you're the type of reader that wants to watch worlds more contrary than Greeks and Romans collide, Riordan has written another type of book: a crossover between The Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The first one in what I hear is to be a series itself is called The Son of Sobek. It's just one short story, but it's from Carter's point of view as he runs into Percy on a hunt.
Those four books are by no means all there is. They just represent the four categories that I know of. As I wrap up with Riordan soon, I'll give you a link that will lead you to a list of his many, many works.
