Moore is the author of nine novels, including the international best-seller "Lamb."

Christopher Moore’s biography is wide-ranging. Before publishing his first novel, “Practical Demon Keeping” in 1992, he worked as a roofer, a grocery clerk, a hotel night auditor, an insurance broker, a waiter, a photographer, and a rock and roll DJ. Moore has drawn on all of these work experiences to create the characters in his books.

In this week’s Inspired Minds, Christopher Moore talks to Breandáin O’Shea about the unexpected popularity of his books in Germany and how he mixes daily life encounters with magic realism to create his very own brand of humorous fiction.
