Erin Answers...

Random cool questions Erin (probably Vicky) answered on the WC message board:

I heard this question during a book signing and im curious. Will there be a Albino cat sometime in the series? I think it would be really cool if there was. It would make the book really interesting.

―StarShine

Hi, StarShine! We are definitely considering an Albino cat, but we’re waiting for the right story to come along so that its unusual coloring can play a central role.


Vicky Quote: “The Forgotten Warrior is going to be about how difficult it is to go back to a life you thought you’d left behind. It’s also about forgiveness, and acceptance, and coming to terms with guilt.” This sounds a lot like Hollyleaf, plus the title sounds like her too!


Spoiler for The Forgotten Warrior: Brightheart's expecting kits!

Survivors?

Is Erin Hunter coming out with a whole new series? Oh the HarperCollins site, if you bring up the page about The Last Hope (OOTS #6), it mentions Survivors under the Marketing/Publicity section.

Dawnwing spotted that a few days back! Gosh you Warriors fans are so eagle-eyed! Yes, there is a new project on the horizon called Survivors, but that’s all I’m saying for now!


It is rumored that it will be a completely different series, but the Erins aren't saying anything yet, but there have been ideas that it could be a branch off of the Warrior Cats series. More info from the Warriors Message Board, the topic is "Compilation about new Erin Hunter series, Survivors"

Vicky Chat

OOTS6 Spoilers

Firestar is on the cover of this one, it was confirmed, which makes sense since he started the whole Warrior Cats thing, and it's rumored that he will die in this book. And the background is the Dark Forest, and the lights are probably the cats' eyes that train there. More coming soon!

The Last Hope

The end of the stars draws near. Three must become four to battle the darkness that lasts forever....

After countless moons of treachery, Tigerstar's Dark Forest apprentices are ready to lay siege upon the Warrior Clans. As the Clan cats seek out their allies and enemies, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Dovewing search desperately for the fourth cat who is prophesied to help them lead the Clans to victory-and whom may be their only hope for survival.

App Details

There is a section in the Warrior Cats app called "The Cats". It's mostly info that's already known, but some of them have "Exclusive Trivia".
For Firestar: his mother's name is Nutmeg! Before her kits were born, she had a dream that a ginger tom (Firestar) was standing on a rock, far away from her. She called to him, but he didn't hear.
For Cinderpelt: CINDERPELT LOVED FIRESTAR. She loved him since she became his apprentice, but never told anyone.
For Onestar: When he became leader, he hated how some of this clan mates didn't accept him, so he looked for Tallstar in one of his dreams and fought him, and Onestar won.

Stormkit

***SPOILER ALERT FOR CROOKEDSTAR'S PROMISE***


First of all, the beginning of the book is so sad. :( Rainflower, Crookedstar's mother, completely rejects him after he has his accident that deformed his jaw. She asks Hailstar, RiverClan's leader, for his name to be changed from Stormkit to Crookedkit, and then she makes him a separate nest in the nursery for him, so he had to sleep by himself as a kit while his brother got to be with his mother.
Other Events:

• Mapleshade trains Crookedstar in the Dark Forest, but he thinks she is a StarClan cat. She wants to see if he is loyal, and not "soft". She decided he was soft when he mated with Willowbreeze, and when he didn't kill Hailstar when he was on his last life. 
• Mapleshade was a ThunderClan cat who mated with a RiverClan cat, her clan cast her out when they realized what she did, and she brought her kits to RiverClan, but they drowned in the river. Her mate cast her out of RiverClan, so she had nowhere to go.
• The book goes from when Crookedstar was born, to when he dies (They have him die in the manga in the back of the book.)

Major Spoiler?

This is from Kate Cary's facebook page. I wonder what the title could be? It's the last book about these cats, the next series is about the earlier clans, so maybe this will be the end of them? That would be so sad :(
