CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI is the author of the internationally bestselling Inheritance Cycle. He draws inspiration for the world of Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, from the natural beauty that surrounds his home in Montana: the tumultuous weather, the roaring Yellowstone River, and the soaring Beartooth Mountains.

I had to finish the series, both for myself and for the readers. The story of Eragon and Saphira had been sitting in my brain for over a decade, burning a hole in my mind; putting it on paper was the only way to free myself of it and also share it with the rest of the world.
Favorite place to write …
At home, in my office, on my sofa. For some reason I’m twice as creative on my sofa than I am at my desk, which is only a few feet a way.
Necessary writing/creativity tool …
Peace and quiet. Random sounds and motions are incredibly distracting for me.
Favorite bookshop …
Hmm. Hard to pick a favorite. . . . I’d say a store with lots of closely-set bookcases crammed with obscure and out of print volumes that would otherwise be impossible to find.
Currently reading …
A collection of H. P. Lovecraft’s fiction, A Boy and His Tank by Leo Frankowski, and a selection of Tennyson’s poems published by the Everyman Library.
