Camp Half-Blood Series Part 2??

Apparently, Rick Riordan has confirmed that there will be a sequel based on the Camp Half-Blood and Greek mythology universe. It will be set on release on October 12, 2010. The series is called The Heroes of Olympus and the first book is called The Lost Hero.

At the end of The Last Olympian on his Acknowledgments page, he also said, "As the first Camp Half-Blood series draws to a close..." Hmmm... Does anyone know the link to the author's statement about the new series? Will anyone pleaasee confirm this? That's all, thanks ;)
