about the author

Darren Mennie can usually be found reading a science fiction book or watching science fiction on TV. Writing books for children was always on his wish list and the publication of the children’s book Hamster HQ this year will finally make that a reality. He loves cycling and spends way too much time on his day job of running a small installation company! He lives in Somerset in the UK with his wife and family.

about the book

My wife and I bought our daughters a Syrian hamster, Fluffy, who became a much-loved part of our family. Our children were convinced that Fluffy had a secret life. I eventually wrote Hamster HQ to try to answer the question of what did Fluffy do when we turned the lights off?
