I’m Malcolm, the creator of Eric and his motley crew! I’m often asked: what age group is it written for? For me, that’s a difficult question to answer. I had no age group in mind when I wrote Eric. I can’t work like that. A story comes to me and I write it! However. I’ve had grandmothers like it, middle aged people like it, seven year olds loving having it read to them and young and preteens particularly enjoying it. So I’m none the wiser! I’m told, as I hoped, you can read it on different levels. If you decide to buy a copy of Eric I hope you get as much pleasure from reading it as I did writing it.

Best wishes
Malcolm Hulme

Tien Sine – First of his kind and founder of the group. Grand experimenter, learned and wise professor. Gets a lot more right than he gets wrong, although he has experienced an explosion or two! Without his skills and expertise all the Band of Brother’s exploits would be impossible.

Silveree – Out of body alien. He’s been on his own for far too long! Eccentric but kind. Has amazing talents such as being able to travel by the speed of thought!

Nabi Stolu – All round great athlete. Aggressive and courageous. The fastest animal in the forest. A doer rather than a talker.

Merly Boab – Rastafarian cheeky chappy. Singer songwriter, artist, and all-around wit. Keeps everyone’s spirits up. Terrible fear of heights.

Cyril – Vain, a beautiful and arrogant butterfly. A reluctant superhero!

Bardee Thron – A sheep without a direction until he finds his purpose in life. Supreme pilot and navigator.

Eric- The last of his kind. Grows reluctantly into his role as leader. Learns from his mistakes and becomes a great orator and commander.
