The day we gave our first author Robert Daws a Hobeck mug

The hottest day of 2020 - the day we went to Chester Zoo to meet author number two, Antony Dunford

Oh we do love to be besides the seaside - meeting the third Hobeck author, Wendy Turbin, on the Essex coast

We won't be able to meet Hobeck author number four for a while so we have to imagine what he might be like

Off we go again - this time meeting Hobeck author number five - Alison Morgan

A great day indeed was the day we met Malcolm Hollingdrake for a tour of the 'dark side' of Liverpool. Then, we gave him a mug.

There is one member of the Hobeck Team who deserves a place in our gallery and that is Jayne Mapp, designer of covers such as Daria's Daughter, Killing Rock, Fatal Trade, Over Her Dead Body and many more...

As fortune would have it, we were passing by Olly Jarvis's hometown on the way north so what better way to break up the journey than a quick coffee in a Hobeck mug with a Hobeck author? 

Welcome to the new member of the Hobeck Team, Richard Osman! Just kidding, but he has a Hobeck mug so he's an honorable member of the team, even if he doesn't know it. 

Ian Rankin is trying to find the tea in his mug... Another honorary member of the team - we wish!

Attending Bloody Scotland gave us the opportunity to meet Mark Wightman, author of Waking the Tiger, and of course, give him a Hobeck mug. 

A trip to Suffolk gave us the opportunity to give Lin Le Versha, author of Blood Notes, one of our mugs.

Suffolk is next to Norfolk - so another mug given to another Hobeck author - Judi Daykin.
