Christopher Paolini was born on November 17, 1983 in Southern California. He has lived most of his life in Paradise Valley, Montana with his parents and younger sister, Angela. The tall, jagged Beartooth Mountains rise on one side of Paradise Valley. Snowcapped most of the year, they inspired the fantastic scenery in the Inheritance Cycle.
His works include the international bestsellers Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance, along with Eragon’s Guide to Alagaësia.
Christopher is grateful to all his readers. He is especially heartened to hear that his books have inspired young people to read and to write stories of their own. Although Christopher will one day return to Alagaësia, he is currently working on several projects set in other worlds.

Talita Paolini trained and worked as a Montessori preschool teacher. After the birth of her two children, Christopher and Angela, she and her husband, Kenneth, homeschooled them, adapting classroom activities to the home environment. Other parents asked Talita for advice, so she decided to record the Paolini Method in a series of articles and books. She currently resides with her husband and children in Paradise Valley, Montana..

Kenneth realized early on that working for someone else was not his thing. Thirty years ago, he and Talita started the family company, Paolini International LLC. He has extensive experience in the printing industry, photography, marketing, and promotion. Merging those skills with home computing, he managed the design and publication of the Paolini International LLC version of Eragon. He is the company’s computer and financial wizard, making sure that everything runs smoothly.
