Author(s) and Guest(s)

Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini's personal story is nearly as fantastic as the ones he puts on the page.  As a youngster, Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. He was all of fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. Author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Knopf, which published Eragon in 2003. Since then, his young-adult fantasy series, the Inheritance Cycle, has become a literary phenomenon, spawning New York Times bestsellers, a feature film, and 20-million books sold--and counting. Inheritance (Knopf Books for Young Readers $27.99) is the much-anticipated, fourth installment and thrilling conclusion of the worldwide bestselling InheritanceCycle.
