How I write: Christopher Paolini
Published: March 2004 Issue
I write in my room, at a Macintosh computer. Our house is on the banks of the
Yellowstone River. The movie A River Runs Through It was filmed five
miles from our house. If you watch the Lord of the Rings movies, we have
landscape like that. The Beor Mountains--the 10-mile-high mountains in Eragon--are
simply an extreme exaggeration of the Beartooth Mountains where I live. When the
sun is setting--the mountains with deep shadows on one side and gilded on the
other--it really is the stuff of fantasy.

Eragon
Published: February 11, 2004

proves to be The One who, with his beautiful blue hatchling dragon and new
skills in magic, telepathy and swordsmanship, will undo the sinister forces. A
quest to track down the nightmarish Shades (Black Rider types) and a wise old

Published: January 25, 2004
As Christopher Paolini sips his orange juice at the end of a long day of

swords, dragons, the Elvish language he invented, his mother's home-made bread
and the Hobbit house he is building in the family's backyard in Paradise Valley,
deepest Montana...

habit-forming and now are in denial, we regret to remind you that there aren't
any more Lord of the Rings movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy...

fantasy writer
Published: September 28, 2003
America's hottest teenage author took the stage Thursday in Salt Lake City

saying, " 'Hi, I'm 15 years old and I just finished the first draft of my
