Eoin share’s his thoughts on writing the sixth book in the Hitchhikers trilogy with Jason Boog of MediaBistro’s GalleyCat blog in this short video clip.
Penguin have just announced that they are releasing a strictly limited run of proofs of the first half of Eoin’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy sixth instalment And Another Thing … These proofs are special in that they’re printed in newspaper form, numbered and will almost certainly be collector’s items. They’ve given me a few copies to pass on, so all you need to do is send an email with your FULL POSTAL ADDRESS (we can only send copies to UK and Ireland addresses) in it and the first few people who do so will receive a sneak preview of Eoin’s latest novel – well, the first half anyway. (There’s a secret message for all Artemis Fowl fans in it, as well, Penguin are saying.)
UPDATE The giveaway is now closed. The improbability drive used to process the entries has tragically exploded. The lucky recipients should be receiving their proofs shortly.
- Saw U2 in Nice- felt young for 140 minutes. Feel old now though. #
- Bono in action. What a gig( gig?). http://twitpic.com/anlf4 #
- Off to Comicon next week. Anyone else going to San Diego? #
- I hate badminton. Sorry, badminters, but there it is. #
- Crossing the Atlantic tomorrow to meet the H2G2 US fans. First New York then San Diego. Different kettles, very different fish. #
