This article about a bestselling Irish novelist is a stub, which is actually quite disappointing when you consider that without him, this wiki wouldn't even exist. If you wish to remedy this disappointment, you can expand this article.
Eoin Colfer [oh - en call - ferr] is an Irish novelist. He has published many books, most namely the Artemis Fowl series.
Biography
He was born on May 14th,[1] 1965 in Wexford, Ireland.[2] He still lives in Ireland, where he taught until 2001, when the success of the Artemis Fowl books allowed him to focus on his writing.[2] Characters from the Artemis Fowl series were originally teaching tools.[citation needed]
He now lives in Ireland with his wife Jackie and their two sons Sean and Finn. "Eoin" is pronounced as the English name "Owen."[2]
Works
The Artemis Fowl series currently spans seven books:
- Artemis Fowl (2001)[3]
- The Arctic Incident (2002)[4]
- The Eternity Code (2003)[5]
- The Opal Deception (2005)[6]
- The Lost Colony (2006)[7]
- The Time Paradox (2008)[8]
- The Atlantis Complex (2010)[9]
In addition, there are the The Artemis Fowl Files,[10] which contain (among other things) the short stories LEPrecon and The Seventh Dwarf, the latter of which was previously published separately for World Book Day. Both were first published in 2004. There are also graphic novels of the first and second novels published in 2007.[11]
Colfer has said that there won't be another Artemis Fowl novels for at least two years after the publication of The Time Paradox,[citation needed] which coincides with the release date of The Atlantis Complex.
He has written many other books including:
- Benny and Omar (1998)[12]
- Benny and the Babe (1999)[12]
- Going Potty (1999)[citation needed]
- The Wish List (2000)[12]
- Ed's Funny Feet (2000)[13]
- Ed's Bed (2001)[14]
- The Supernaturalist (2004)[12]
- The Legend of Spud Murphy (2004)[12]
- The Legend of Captain Crow's Teeth (2006)[12]
- Half Moon Investigations (2006)[12]
- The Legend of the Worst Boy in the World (2007)[12]
- Airman (2008)[12]

He also went on a comedy tour under the banner of Fairies, Fiends and Flatulence throughout the US to promote The Time Paradox's release.[15]
