The author's purpose for writing Artemis Fowl was mostly just to entertain people (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). He was also inspired by his dad who told him about fairies and leprechauns (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). That gave him the passion for writing books for kids. He was mostly inspired by his childhood (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). He was also inspired by the word "foul" and he also liked the Greek god Artemis (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). He was also inspired by his dreams that he had as a child (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). He dreamed that he had a butler that would protect him in his dreams (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). He saw himself as the main character Artemis Fowl because that is the character with the most detail (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). The author also has said things about his childhood that correlate with Artemis Fowl and how Artemis sees the world (Eoin Colfer on Artemis Fowl). Eoin Colfer was born in Wexford, a city in Ireland, in 1965 (About Eoin). He had four brothers and no sisters (About Eoin). His dad was an elementary school teacher and his mom was a drama teacher (About Eoin). His love for writing started in elementary school when he was writing about vikings (About Eoin). He then went to Dublin University for college and got a degree for a primary school teacher and then went back to Wexford to work there (About Eoin). He married in 1991 and traveled to Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia to work (About Eoin). He published his first book in 1998, called Benny and Omar (About Eoin). He then proceeded with making a sequel to that in 1999 (About Eoin). Then, in 2001, he published his very first Artemis Fowl book (About Eoin).
