As you may well have heard from the folks over at Penguin, Eoin Colfer will be at LX and on stage to talk to fans about his next book: And Another Thing, the 6th installment of Douglas Adam’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy. Yes, that one.

Eoin is an Irish writer best known for his Artemis Fowl series and whilst fans of the Guide will have plenty of chance to ask questions on that area of things he will also be getting involved in other areas of the programme.

Penguin books will be giving away some promotional goodies and prizes as well as a full signed, sealed and delivered set of Eoin’s back catalogue including a copy of And Another Thing once it’s published.

Things are hotting up as Easter gets nearer and we’ll be announcing more programme participants soon, so keep an eye on this website for more news!
