7	Eoin Colfer (born 14 May 1965) is an Irish author, most famous for his ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' books. A very capable author, he has been compared to Creator/JKRowling, and like the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books, his ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' series has been used to benchmark and compare other authors.

9	And he's from UsefulNotes/{{Ireland}} (specifically, Wexford), hence the Irish spelling of his name.

29	!!Tropes of which Eoin Colfer is found guilty:
30	* AuthorTract:
31	** Environmentalism is very important to him, thus his driving it into reader's skulls in every book he writes.
32	** Irish/Celtic pride.
33	* AuthorAppeal:
34	** See above for environmental questions.
35	** If he writes a sci-fi book with highly advanced technology, chances are it will feature intelligent gel/liquid metal/liquid-like arrays of nanites and it will usually be the top-notch tech of the setting. Also, Plasma can do anything.
36	** Some ToiletHumor
37	* MythologyGag: His books have a few recurring names:
38	** Phonetix is a large corporation that's mentioned in both the ''Literature/ArtemisFowl'' series and ''Literature/TheSupernaturalist''.
39	** Myishi is a character in ''Literature/TheWishList'' and also a corporation in ''Literature/TheSupernaturalist''.
40	** Stefan Bashkir, a major character in ''Literature/TheSupernaturalist'', is also an alias used by Literature/ArtemisFowl.
41	** ''The Artemis Fowl Files'' (a companion book) is dedicated to "Finn, Artemis's best friend." Finn is the surname of the main character of ''Literature/TheWishList'', and also a false surname that gets used by the main character of ''Literature/{{Airman}}''.
