Erin Hunter is the pseudonym of five people: Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, Tui T. Sutherland, Gillian Philip, and Inbali Iserles, as well as editor Victoria Holmes. Together, they write the Warriors series as well as the Seekers and Survivors series. Erin Hunter is working on a new series now called Bravelands.
Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a fascination with the ferocity of the natural world. As well as having a great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behavior, shaped by her interest in astronomy and standing stones.

“There will be three, kin of your kin..." Jayfeather's voice shook as he wondered if he could possibly be right. "Cloudtail is Firestar's kin, Whitewing is Cloudtail's daughter, and now Dovekit and Ivykit...Don't you see? The prophecy isn't over! We aren't the only kin of Firestar's kin. It doesn't matter which of Whitewing's kits is the one. There are still three of us![Jayfeather]”
“She brought me a crow's feather...," he whispered.”
“The time for lies and secrets is over," she meowed. "The truth must come out. Starclan was wrong not to tell you who you were a long time ago."Then what-?" Jayfeather began, but already Yellowfang's shape was beginning to fade, melting into the moonlight until she was gone. The moonlight abrubtly vanished, leaving Jayfeather in darkness as he woke from his dream.Mouse dung! Why can't any cat speak straight out?" he hissed”
“Welcome to our camp!" Blackstar called, beckoning them with his tail. "Rest here and take your pick of the fresh-kill pile.""Who are you and what have you done with Blackstar?" Lionblaze muttered.”
“I am Midnight(cats stare dumbfounded)”
“I hope he has them chasing blue squirrels all day!" Graystripe hissed to Fireheart as they headed toward the corner where a few pieces of fresh-kill remained from last night. "But there aren't any blue squirrels," Fireheart mewed in confusion. Precisely!" Graystripe's amber eyes gleamed.”
“I know my name's Squirrelpaw, but I never thought I'd wish that I WAS a squirrel!”
“Think you have nine lives, do you? I saved you once.... don't make me save you again.”
“Pack pack kill kill”
“Stupid Furball!”
“May Starclan light your path.”
“Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red.”
“My name is Squirrelpaw, but I never thought I'd wish I was one!”
“You couldn't catch a mouse if leaped in between your paws!”
“Four will Become Two, Lion and Tiger will Meet in Battle, and Blood will Rule the Forest.”
“Fire will save the Clan”

“There will be three, kin of your kin, who hold the power of the stars in their paws.”
“You cannot live with a paw in each world.”
“Don't be afraid of StarClan. They will understand about Brokentail. You will be honored by our warrior ancestors for your loyalty toy your Clanmates and for your endless courage. So many cats owe their lives to you. Cinderpelt would have died after her accident if you hadn't tended to her. And when there was greencough, you fought day and night.... ”
“Feathertail... No, don't leave me!”
“I forgot it”
“Crowpaw,I can hear the voices clearly now, this is for me to do.”
“Tallstar stiffened and his neck fur bristled. 'Windclan was driven from the forest once,' he hissed. 'Never again. Our territory is ours, and we'll fight for it. Is Thunderclan with us?”
“Now Darkstripe,' Graypaw hissed to Firepaw under his breath, 'is neither young, nor pretty.”
