This article is not a part of the Warriors universe and is from the real world.

Kate Cary is one of the authors of the Warriors novel series, who shares the pseudonym "Erin Hunter" with editor Victoria Holmes, and fellow writers Cherith Baldry, and Tui Sutherland.[1]

Biography

Kate Cary was born on November 4, 1967,[2] during a storm, in England, outside of Birmingham. She studied history of witchcraft, madness, and women at the Royal Holloway College, London University, gaining a Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) in 1989 and a Master of Arts degree (MA) in 1992.[3] She then moved to Scotland, living there for 12 years in the woods, and started writing there. In 1997, she had a son, named Josh.[4] In 2004, she moved back to England, and is now currently residing in a city in the north of England.[5]

She began writing Warriors after sending a sample of her writing to a company called Working Partners.[6] They suggested that she work on a project they were going to start about feral cats, and after trying it out and sending her work to Victoria Holmes, an editor for Working Partners who had come up with the idea for Warriors,[7] and Vicky liked her writing so Kate wrote the first two books.[8] Cherith Baldry was also recruited to help so that they could keep up with the fast publishing schedule.

Quotes

"I have loved cats since I was a child. My dad gave me a kitten when I was six: a small black, gentle cat. She would follow me around the house waiting for me to sit down so she could clamber onto my lap and purr. Since then I have never been without a cat. Even at University I found a cat to love: a black tom who lived in the halls of residence. He would slip into my room and sleep on my bed and when I left the University and set up my own home, the first thing I acquired was a cat. I have three cats now. My eldest cat is a grumpy granddad of a cat who loves to sleep in the warmest place he can find to rest his aching bones. Flower and Miu-Miu are much younger; a brother and sister we found in a rescue home. They love it when I write; as soon as they see me at my keyboard, Willow settles himself under the radiator in my study and Flower curls up on the chair behind me, while Miu-Miu lounges across my desk pressing the keys with his paws with every languorous stretch. They graciously share their home with my partner Geoff and my seven-year-old son, Joshua, who love them almost as much as I do. Although our three cats are soft kittypets, I know that at night, while I'm tucked up in bed, they go out exploring a world all their own. Writing Warriors gives me the chance to imagine that world. I used to worry about my cats, out alone in the dark by themselves. But the ThunderClan cats have taught me that there is nothing for them to fear, only adventures to be enjoyed."[9]
