Eoin Colfer, best-selling author of the wonderful Artemis Fowl series helped us celebrate World Book Day and Authors Live's first birthday on Thursday 3rd March.
Eoin began writing in primary school with tales inspired by the Vikings that he was studying. His Artemis Fowl series has turned Eoin into a writing superstar and he even has an Artemis Fowl tour bus when out on the road in America! Eoin will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of his wickedly brilliant Artemis Fowl series on the 4th March.
