A terrific interview from SFX in which Eoin deals with all of the tough questions on And Another Thing…

SFX: Are you hoping to bring back Hitchhiker's for a new generation?

Colfer: I know Douglas said he was going to do a sixth book, so he had planned to bring it back. And that's what Jane, Douglas's widow, wants. It's already working!

Eoin's talks to Matthew Peterson for The Author Hour. The programme also features Sir Terry Pratchett, Jody Lynn Nye and Piers Anthony.
