Hamminkway is a pseudonym for the Dutch writer ‘Rob Hammink', (1961, 'Keizershut', Wisch).

During his career as a senior reporter for the leading Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf', he had written four novels: WaanZin (Lunacy), VerVal (Decay), Jodoh (Soulmate) and Made in China. All his writings are based on actual life events. In Ernest Hemingway he found a role model in living life to the fullest in intensity and adventures.

Rob Hammink garnered a reputation as the 'Tin Tin' of De Telegraaf for his unusual stories and adventures around the globe. He has had close encounters with death several times, but managed to live and tell after. During the nineties he foresaw and enthusiastically adopted cross-medium in journalism. From the deepest jungles of South America, across remote African desserts and the vastness of Siberia, he drew on his ingenuity to file his stories, photos and videos to meet publishing deadlines.

During his training at the School of Reserve Officers Jan van Schaffelaar (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_van_Schaffelaerkazerne) he started flying at the age of eighteen. As a private pilot he mastered twelve types of aeroplanes and volunteered in the Royal Netherlands Air Force Historical Flight (KLHVL) https://kluhv.nl/home-eng/

Rob Hammink studied at the School of Journalism Utrecht (www.english.hu.nl/OverDeHU) and the academy of Photography in Haarlem.

Since the start of 2017 he has been busy turning his third book Jodoh into a film in Indonesia.
