Author Christopher Paolini to Sign 'Brisingr' at Borders in Novi, Mich.

September 26, 2008 8:04 AM EDT

    ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 26 --

    Who:     Christopher Paolini is the author of the highly popular
             Inheritance cycle, which chronicles the adventures of Eragon and
             his dragon Saphira. The Inheritance cycle includes three books:
             "Eragon," (also released as a major motion picture in 2006),
             "Eldest," and now Paolini's recently released, "Brisingr."
             Homeschooled by his parents in Paradise Valley, Mont., Paolini
             wrote his first draft of "Eragon" at the age of 15. It would
             later become a bestseller as would "Eldest," his second book.
             He's currently writing his 4th book in the Inheritance cycle,
             which will complete the story that he envisioned years ago when
             he first outlined the adventure.
