The Hotel on the Rock
The book is exciting and creepy, but at the same time the author has a clear message. The children learn to think about themselves and how they behave, they learn to deal with their fears and support each other.

Mel Hartman's smooth and powerful and sometimes cinematic writing style was also well reflected in this story. The story is very exciting and is also full of fantasy, humour and touching moments.

A Curse of Crows
By letting enough exciting and magical moments seep through the extensive world, and character building, it was not difficult, even in the build-up phase, to let the story take you along.

About us
A few years ago we, Sandra Vets and Cathy Carlier, had a dream. Sandra has been writing and publishing books herself for years. She is a creative at heart, just like Cathy, with whom she started a business years ago.
The dream of turning our passion for books into our profession came true in the summer of 2018, and thus Hamley Books was born. This name was not chosen at random. We named our publishing house after our quirky jet-black cat. And we just love cats a lot.
In 2021, Melissa Vandeputte joined our team. She is responsible for the foreign rights and makes sure the books travel the world. Thus far many book rights have been sold to different countries.
