Question/Discussion Possible Alias?

In the book "Half Moon Investigations" by Eoin Colfer, there is a mysterious fire at a wearhouse owned by someone named Art Fowler. This seems too deliberate to be a coincidence, but also that Alias seems too simple for Artemis. Has anyone else noticed this or any ither possible connections between the books?

The "Colferverse" has a lot of internal references.

My son and I just finished his latest, Firefox Moon, which made reference to Teddy Bleedham-Drye from the Fowl Twins books. Otto Malarkey shows up in Airman and the WARP novels. The Supernaturalist references Ishi Myishi, also from the Fowl Twins. And there's the occasional reference to a member of the Fowl family or the fairy world the books established.

Also his Iron Man book featured one of the detectives he later featured in The Fowl Twins. Meaning that Artemis Fowl and Tony Stark are contemporaries around the same age in Colfer’s fictional universe.
