Christopher+Paolini

Out hunting in a dark mountain range, Eragon is startled by a blazing fire where he finds a marble-looking stone. He longs to help his family and attempts to put the stone to good use, however the stone ends up changing the course of his life!

Christopher Paolini has written the Inheritance Series, which he published at age 15 with his own hard work and the work of his parents. At one point, he had to inspect every book for errors, and strangely enough those books with misprints are now collectors editions. Many of us in the class have been interested in this author's writing along with other fantasy books. I did a little digging and found some interesting links and information about this author. Below there are links to the map of the Empire that he has created along with some interviews with the author.

Below is an interview the author gave shortly after releasing Brsingr.
