Query: How many authors wrote under Erin Hunter?
Erin Hunter is a collective pseudonym used by the authors Victoria Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Gillian Philip, Inbali Iserles, Tui T. Sutherland, and Rosie Best, in the writing of several juvenile fantasy novel series, which focus on animals and their adventures. Notable works include the Warriors, Seekers, Survivors, and Bravelands book series.[1] Each of the authors play a different role: while Holmes creates the storyline of each book, Cary, Baldry, and Sutherland take turns writing the books.[2] In addition, another person who is not an Erin Hunter writes the manga: Dan Jolley.[3]
A collective name, also known as a house name, is sometimes used with series fiction published under one pen name even though more than one author may have contributed to the series. In some cases the first books in the series were written by one writer, but subsequent books were written by ghost writers. For instance, many of the later books in "The Saint" adventure series were not written by Leslie Charteris, the series' originator. Similarly, "Nancy Drew" mystery books are published as though they were written by Carolyn Keene, "The Hardy Boys" books are published as the work of Franklin W. Dixon, and "The Bobbsey Twins" series are credited to Laura Lee Hope, although numerous authors have been involved in each series. Erin Hunter, author of the "Warriors" novel series, is actually a collective pen name used by authors Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui T. Sutherland, and the editor Victoria Holmes.
"Moonrise" was written by Erin Hunter, a pseudonym used by authors Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland, and series editor Victoria Holmes. The pseudonym is used so that the individual novels in the series would not be shelved in different places in libraries. Victoria Holmes chose the name Erin because she liked the name, and Hunter because it matched the theme of feral cats. It also ensured that the books were shelved near those of Brian Jacques, an author that the writers, collectively known as "the Erins", liked.

Erin receives many messages after the intranet is launched. Some are nice, agreeing that what she wrote was correct, but much more common were the mean notes. Rosie still supports her, her family along with her. Unfortunately, many other people do not, Jilly especially. Erin agrees that she did write some pretty horrible things about her, including Jilly's bruises from her bedframe that result from her fear of monsters in the night. Jilly thinks Erin released the blog to get even with her, and is embarrassed, enraged, and hurt.

Dougherty wrote, "Was anyone else rooting for Erin to just stay down there? I certainly was." McNutt bluntly wrote, "I'm not buying this relationship." The WHTC review noted that the arc was "a total carbon copy of the Jim/Pam version that sucked us all in years ago."

Whether it will be a role-playing game is unknown. Erin Hunter has stated on the official Warriors website that there is still no plan for an official video game, but if there was, it would probably be based on a movie version of the Warriors series, which was at the time not under consideration.[95] Many fans have resorted to making their own games and websites, many of these sites being Play-by-post role-playing game forums.[68]
Kate was the second author brought on board to write for the series. Holmes chose Cary to write the first book after Holmes had finished one storyline.

The name "Erin Hunter" was chosen for a few reasons. First, if the authors used all of their own names, the books would be placed in different places in a library, making them hard to find. Second, they were trying to pick a surname that would place the books very close to the Redwall series by Brian Jacques, which was, at the time, the book series with the closest plot to Warriors. One of the authors suggested "Hunter", and the others found that it was "perfect" because not only did it place the book series close to Jacques, but it evokes the image of a cat.Victoria Holmes suggested ‘Erin' because she liked the name.[7] One of Victoria Holmes's favourite given names is Erin, and it was accepted for being a strong, Celtic name and "not particularly girly".[7]
The Quest Begins is the first novel in the "Seekers" series. It was written by Erin Hunter, which is a pseudonym used by authors Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland, and editor Victoria Holmes. The novel details the adventures of four bears, Toklo, Kallik, Lusa and Ujurak, who are stranded together in the wild and must learn to survive. The declining environment around the bears is a theme explored throughout the novel. The development of the "Seekers" series began as a result of a request from HarperCollins for another series about animals to the authors who wrote the "Warriors" series about feral cats under the name of Erin Hunter. The novel was published on 27 May 2008. Critical reception was generally positive, with praise directed at the mixture between anthropomorphism and realism; reviewers also opined that the series would appeal to fans of Hunter's other series, "Warriors".
Kate Cary (born 4 November 1967 in Birmingham, England) is one of the authors of the "Warriors" novel series, a story about wild cats, which she writes under the pen name of Erin Hunter. The other authors who also write the "Warriors" novel series under the pen name Erin Hunter are Cherith Baldry, Gillan Phillip, Rosie Best, Inbali Iserles, and Tui T. Sutherland. Kate Cary has also written the book "Bloodline", and its sequel "Reckoning". Besides writing Warriors, Kate Cary also has helped her partners write the Seekers books. Cary says she has loved cats since the age of 6, which helped her write the warriors novels. She has 2 cats of her own: Flower and Miu-Miu, and a son named Joshua. She lived in Scotland for twelve years, before moving back to England in 2004.
Another theme found throughout the book is the hardship of life in the wild. Reviews have note how the story does not cover up the hardships of Clan life. "School Library Journal" commented on how the story describes the hardships and difficulties of a feral cat's life in detail and how there is no sugarcoating of the violence. Fantasy Book Review also wrote "Erin Hunter does not spare the reader from the grim realities of living in the wild". "Kirkus Reviews" noted that doing so shows how the Clans are on the brink of survival.
In 2003, Harper Collins asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats, but, not being a reader of fantasy, she was less than enthusiastic.[4] After writing one storyline, Kate Cary was brought in to write the book as Holmes went behind the scenes to supervise details and edit the book. Then on the third book, Forest of Secrets, Cherith Baldry joined Erin Hunter.[5] Later, after Sutherland wrote the first Warriors field guide, she became the fourth Erin Hunter.[6]
