His name is Christopher Paolini and if you do a google search you can probably double check this. But I belive he was home-schooled and graduated, so he started writing a book. I believe his parents own(ed) a small publishing house and they where the first ones to publish the Eragon, but they later sold it to another publishing house which published it and the other books.
 
Okay I just went on to goodreads to his authors page and here is his info off of there:

Christopher Paolini was raised in the Paradise Valley, Montana area. His family members include his parents, Kenneth Paolini and Talita Hodgkinson, and his sister, Angela Paolini. Home schooled for the duration of his education, Paolini graduated from high school at the age of 15 through a set of accredited correspondence courses from American School of Correspondence in Lansing, Illinois. Following graduation, he started his work on what would become the novel Eragon the first of a series, set in the mythical land of Alagaësia.

In 2002, Eragon was published by Paolini International LLC, Paolini's parents' company. Paolini created the cover art for the first edition of Eragon, which featured Saphira's eye. He also drew the maps on the inside covers of his books.

In Summer 2002, the stepson of author Carl Hiaasen found Eragon in a bookstore and loved it, and Hiaasen brought it to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf. Knopf subsequently made an offer to publish Eragon and the rest of the Inheritance cycle. The second edition of Eragon was published by Knopf in August 2003. At the age of nineteen, Paolini became a New York Times bestselling author. Eragon has since been adapted into a film of the same name.

Paolini's essay "It All Began with Books" was included in the April 2005 anthology Guys Write for Guys Read.
Eldest, the sequel to Eragon, was released August 23, 2005. The third book in the cycle, Brisingr, was released on September 20, 2008. Although the Inheritance Cycle was planned as a trilogy, the details for Brisingr had to be expanded to include a fourth book, titled Inheritance, correspondent to the series' name.​

Me too!
Darkest night of the year and a few others, I liked them all so far, haven't read Twilight eyes.

Twilight Eyes is...odd. It about a man/boy who sees goblins in people. Who all are evil and torturer people to "feed" off their pain or something like that. It's weird and I spent a good amount of time wondering if he was just crazy and was killing people because he wanted to rather then actually seeing goblins, but I never "clicked" with the main character which didn't help.

Lets see random books you might have read... have you read the Eragon series?

Argh, sorry I poofed!!

Yes I have.
