Biography

Born in Lancaster, England, Baldry studied at Manchester University and St Anne's College, Oxford. She worked both as a teacher and a lecturer.[3] She taught in Sierra Leone and England.[4] She is a member of and has published reviews in the British Science Fiction Association.[5]

Baldry is one of seven authors who writes under the pen name of Erin Hunter.[6] Baldry has written for Warriors, in which wild cats strive for peace in their territories,[7] and Seekers, in which a group of four bears go on a journey together.

She currently lives in Reigate with her two cats, Bramble and Sorrel, who were the inspirations for two characters in the Warriors books (Brambleclaw and Sorreltail, respectively).[8] She was married to the late Peter Baldry, a scientist, and has two sons, Will and Adam.
