Born in Berkshire, England, Holmes attended oxford University. Holmes wasn’t much of a fantasy reader. But she loved cats. When Harpercollins invited her to write a series about cats within the fantasy genre, she wasn’t enthusiastic. But she still gave the project her best.

Holmes was able to produce a storyline. But when it came to actually writing the book, she left the task to Kate Cary, a native of England who spent 12 years in Scotland. Kate wrote the fist Warriors novel, with Holmes doing the editing.

Cherith Baldry, the third member of the group, entered the equation with book three. She caught Holmes’ eye because the author realized that Cherith’s writing styles mirrored Kate’s in many ways. This told Holmes that Cherith had what it took to maintain the consistency of the series in Kate’s absence.

Gillian Phillip, who calls the Scottish Highlands home alongside her husband, children, and cats, came on board to write the ‘Survivor’ series, also under the Erin Hunter pen name. Other members of the team include Inbali Iserles and Rosie Best.

The ‘Hunter’ part of the pseudonym was chosen because the team wanted the book to be shelved next to the ‘Redwall’ series in the library. Holmes liked ‘Erin’ as a first name. The group aspect of the writing process was a new experience for some of the members of the team.

Holmes was tasked with managing their activities. She was responsible for writing the storylines and determining the direction the stories took. Naturally, she invited submissions from her team members. While Holmes was responsible for creating the storylines, she trusted the individual authors to expand upon them.

Of course, Holmes was the final arbiter. She supervised every single novel written by Erin Hunter, closely scrutinizing the individual manuscripts to ensure that they stuck to the outline. She also made certain that Erin Hunter’s voice remained consistent, not to mention keeping an eye on the characters and their traits to ensure uniformity.

When it came to writing the individual books, the members took turns writing different installments in the series. The passions of the various members of the team determined the kinds of stories they created. Kate and Cherith, for instance, love cats.

But Cherith also loves Arthurian legends. Kate, on the other hand, is obsessed with animal interactions. Erin Hunter’s novels are primarily targeted towards young readers.

Erin Hunter Awards

The author has been nominated for a Young Reader’s Choice Award, a Colorado Blue Spruce Award, and a Georgia Children’s Book Award.

Best Erin Hunter Books

Erin Hunter writes for young readers but her stories have been known to tug at the heartstrings of much older audiences, with some of the best books in her bibliography including:

Into the Wild: Rusty was just an ordinary house cat. His human owners were nice enough. They took care of him, filled his belly, and put a roof over his head. But after a while, Rusty realized that he wanted more. He wanted to be a warrior. So he ventured out into the wild.

Long ago, the warrior cats of the forest created laws to govern their society. They divided into four clans that, they hoped, would co-exist with one another, sharing the forest and its resources. This has been the case for a long time. But things are finally changing.

The ThunderClan cats are facing a new threat at a time when the power of the nefarious ShadowClan is waxing. Warriors are starting to die in inexplicable ways. This is the world that Rusty has entered. To survive, the newest cat must also become the bravest.

Fire and Ice: Rusty is now Fireheart. But a change of name doesn’t mean anything. Rusty must continue his quest to prove that he is a warrior. The three cat clans are still in peril, and Rusty is certain that some among the Thunderclan are not quite as loyal as they appear to be.

Meanwhile, his best friend has fallen for a cat from a different clan. But their love is forbidden.

.
