“The mere fact that author Eoin Colfer is on a national book tour called the Fairies, Fiends & Flatulence tour should tell you something. What exactly can be left up to you, but please take away from the name that he writes in the realm of the fantastic — with plenty of funny thrown in. Colfer, who lives in Ireland with his wife and two sons, recently released Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox, the sixth book in his best-selling series about a super-genius boy who happens to be a criminal mastermind. He’s announced that it will be his last Artemis Fowl adventure for a while, though he says he will return to the character. Fast-paced, action-packed, and often hilarious, the Artemis Fowl books are just part of Colfer’s extensive bibliography: The former school teacher has 16 books to his name, among them Half-Moon Investigations and Airman, two spectacular books for young boys (and, yes, girls so long as they like action and excitement)” .
Iva-Marie Palmer interview’s Eoin during his recent US Tour.
Eoin Colfer talks with Bloomberg’s Mike Schneider about “Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox,” the sixth installment of his book series, the creation of the characters in the stories, his career as an author, and the potential for a movie series based on the books.
The interview is available directly from the Bloomberg site as a downloadable podcast.
Time Paradox fever is set to go into overdrive in Ireland over the next month. Radio advertising for the sixth Artemis Fowl book is set to start on Irish stations tomorrow but in the spirit of our time-travelling hero we can bring it to you today!
