Christopher Paolini

Profling Christopher Paolini:

A self publishing success story. A young man, aged 22 has a hit on his hands. Not just one hit, but three, and the last book in the trilogy isn't complete yet.

The Inheritance Trilogy consists of Eragon, the first book in the trilogy. Eldest is the second. The final volume is being currently worked on.

There is also a movie in the works which will be released next summer, 2006 based on the Inheritance Trilogy.

Christopher Paolini was home schooled and graduated at age 15, at which age he began writing his trilogy. What flowed from his pen and imagination is a trilogy that many will enjoy re-reading in years to come.

Christopher Paolini has said that he did the writing as a hobby and never intended to be published. Thank goodness his family changed his mind! I feel Christopher
is a story teller, and good at it. Nay, excellent.

After revisions, Christopher gave the story Eragon to his family to critique. Christopher's family helped him to self publish and promote the Inheritance books.

In one of those unexpected events, a published author's stepson bought a copy of the self published book, Eragon. As the old cliche says, the rest is history. Author Carl
Hiaasen's publisher, Alfred A Knopf was made aware of the first book, Eragon. Knopf acquired the rights to the Inheritance Trilogy.

I will be collecting the Trilogy, as well as the movie once it's released. If you'd like to know more about the Trilogy visit http://www.alagaesia.com .
