Hello. My name is Kate Cary. I’ve been assuming only Warriors fans find this place and that they know about me already. (Warriors fans are fiercely loyal and frighteningly knowledgeable.) But you may have arrived here quite by accident and be wondering who on earth I am, and what on earth is Warriors, or indeed Bloodline.
I write fiction for children and young adults.
I began writing How To guides about things like Skipping and Being a Detective, as well as quite a few other similarly commercial products until one day I stumbled on a company called Working Partners. They liked my writing style and invited me to try out for a fantasy series they were putting together for HarperCollins; it was about feral cats, called Warriors and would be published under the pseudonym Erin Hunter. So I sent them some sample chapters and they liked my “voice” enough to allow me to write the first two books in the first series.
That was 8 years ago. We are now planning our fourth series. No one expected Warriors to be such a huge success. There is even talk of a movie.
In between writing Erin Hunter titles (alongside Cherith Baldry and, more lately, Tui Sutherland, and under the guidance of my fabulous editor, Victoria Holmes) I have also managed to write a couple of vampire novels: Bloodline and Bloodline: The Reckoning. I’m hoping there will be a third Bloodline novel, but my Erin work is keeping me busy at the moment.
And that is the story so far. I hope there will be more to it. I shall certainly keep you posted because no doubt you are agog.
