The series first began when publisher HarperCollins asked Victoria Holmes to write a fantasy series about feral cats. Holmes was initially not enthusiastic, since she "couldn't imagine coming up with enough ideas." She worked with the concept, however, expanding the storyline with elements of war, politics, revenge, doomed love, and religious conflict. [1] Although the original plan was for a stand-alone novel, enough material was created for several books, and the publisher decided on a six-volume series. [1] The first volume, Into the Wild, was written by Kate Cary under the pseudonym "Erin Hunter" and was completed in about three months. [2] Holmes then began to work behind the scenes, editing and supervising details. [3] Cherith Baldry joined the team to write the third book, Forest of Secrets. Later, after she wrote the first Warriors field guide, Tui Sutherland became the fourth author to use the pseudonym Erin Hunter. [4] a b Prolman, Lisa (1 September 2003). " Fire and Ice".
