| - True
- none

| - Hmmm. I think StarClan would allow them to open their eyes and totter around, for maximum cuteness.
- Ivy Poole is the daughter of a good friend of mine. She is a beautiful little girl, but that doesn't mean Ivypaw has to be perfect!
- She is tortoiseshell and white, big, tending to fat, with amber eyes. She's ambitious, cold and dedicated to revenge. You'll see a lot more of her in Crookedstar's Promise!
- It doesn't have a name yet. It's still barely a twinkle in my eye!
- Eww. I hope not. He's nasty. I don't think he even thinks of them as individuals, just a means to his wicked wicked ends.
- I don’t know exactly, but it could be because we covered so much material in the other Special Editions, so HarperCollins didn’t feel there was enough extra material to fill an entire book.
- I don't know which was older; I'd imagined they were much the same age. Firestar appointed Whitestorm as deputy, remember, thought Whitestorm was much older, because he was the best cat for the job.
- I kind of like Hawkfrost myself, because he seemed so complicated.
- I hadn't written anything at all! Warriors was one of the first projects I ever worked on. Lucky, huh? :)
- There would have been plenty of former ShadowClan cats lining up to make Tigerstar leader! For all his faults, he was exactly what ShadowClan needed following the Nightstar debacle: a strong, courageous, desperately loyal warrior who would do whatever it took to make his Clan powerful and feared. Raggedstar would have been among them, and Thistleclaw of ThunderClan as well, of course. And yes, cats from the Dark Forest would have found their way to StarClan to give him some lives as well.
- Molebutt and Cherrycola. Kidding. I don't know yet.
- I believe there are. I hope so. He's another great character to write.
- I have a soft spot for Hawkfrost. I think he could have tipped the other way and become a really awesome cat if he had given himself the chance.
- Dovepaw is his fave.
- Medicine cats from the other Clans will appoint a new one, guided by StarClan.
- No way! Not again! These cats are way too inter-related. They need some more kittypets to mate with...
- I don't think so. Too much has happened!
- It's Flametail!
- Mapleshade!
- No. I'm rather fond of the inconsistencies.
- OTS4
- Ooh, quite possibly!
- Scourge.
- StarClan has no leader.
- There are new kits in Sign of the Moon!
- Tigerstar and Spottedleaf!
- Tigerstar!
- Feathertail’s gets me every time, the way she says to Crowpaw: “Don’t make me save you again...”
- She definitely has a warrior name. Sagefur? Gosh, I can't remember, my brain is so tired.
- The cat named “Thunder” got his name from the Thunderpath, and by extension the name was given to his Clan. As memories of Thunder the cat faded, the name became associated exclusively with the geographical location. And the same for the other four Clans!
- I think he probably did, yes, even though we didn't see it happen.
- Ah, we love the Ancient Cats! I’m not sure they’ll get their own Super Edition ; however, they will reappear in OTS4: Sign of the Moon!
- No because the medicine den would get a little cluttered!
- Probably not. Our cats won't travel back to the old forest, and Princess would never make the long journey to the lake. I think she's well and happy with her housefolk, though.
- She didn’t end up “evil”, just misguided and desperate. She was always so loyal to the warrior code that she would never have agreed to be trained by a cat from the Dark Forest. I think Tigerstar could see that! Also, perhaps he knew all along that she wasn’t one of the Three, so she wasn't worth his attention?
- Scourge's greatest weakness was that he didn't believe in StarClan, so he didn't make it to the Dark Forest. He's gone for good, I'm afraid. But he did get his own manga!
- Book Four will be called Sign of the Moon and, as a Wands and Worlds exclusive, I can reveal here that Book Five will be The Forgotten Warrior. Hooray!
- I doubt it - unless something dreadful happens to Brambleclaw. Which is NOT a plot hint, by the way!
- SkyClan is so new, Leafstar doesn't quite know all the rules about names, hence the use of "moon". And the strange names came about because some kittypets didn't want entirely new names.
- Briarlight isn't a central character, but she's very precious to me so she's going to stay around for a while.
- I was sure Firestar lost a life in the manga! Oh no, don't say it got edited out ! Confusion reigns, sigh.
- I see no reason why not, as they would then be a full medicine cat. But the Clan only needs so many med cats, so it wouldn't be usual. Maybe if the first med cat was very old.
- I'm not sure where you’ve read up to, but Ivypaw definitely plays a central role in the second half of OTS!
- Oh, he’s dead all right. But he transcends StarClan, and the Dark Forest, and anywhere else that dead cats are contained, so he can pop up literally anywhere. We’ll find out more about Rock in the second half of OOTS, don’t worry. He’s a very special cat.
- The editors at HarperCollins were worried that Firestar's housefolk would be sad without their kitty, so they asked me to create a replacement!
- She figured it out before she died, even before she made her declaration at the Gathering. I’m not sure that Lionblaze and Jayfeather knew that she didn’t have a power until Dovepaw came along and was obviously one of the Three.
- We will see more of her, especially in Night Whispers, but she isn't as central as Tigerheart and Flametail.
- I think they'd be pleased, if a bit weirded out. The cats who knew Cinderpelt would welcome her back with open paws!
- He likes Dovepaw at present, but who can say how it will turn out?
- I think this is something that can stay secret for a while longer... but don't worry, you’ll find out soon!
- I actually think Squirrelflight is unable to have kits.
- This would be a decision for the publisher. But all the Erins contribute to charity, both for animals and people. But we prefer to do it privately. Not letting our left hand know what our right hand does, and all that.
- Oh, I suspect she's too much in love with Crowfeather to consider doing that.
- I don't think she deliberately set out to play Ashfur. She did like him, and she liked his attention, because really, who wouldn't? But there was a chemistry between her and Brambleclaw that she couldn’t resist – in spite of all their bickering and clashes. Poor Ashfur just couldn't compete with that sort of connection.
- Poor Hollyleaf! She killed Ashfur – and realized that nothing had changed. She was still the result of an illicit relationship between a medicine cat and a WindClan cat. Her true parents had lied and cheated all their lives and never been punished. The warrior code had been defied in every way, yet these cats were living normal lives! She believed that the only way to get justice was to reveal the truth in the most public place – a Gathering. By this time, she had lost all her faith in the warrior code, so she didn’t care about the repercussions.
- Absolutely! *crosses fingers and looks at her feet*
- I don’t think so, since Bluestar doesn’t seem to have any half-siblings in the Clan.
- I assume they get a sign from StarClan. It would be a bit like the way that Echosong becomes med cat in Firestar's Quest. She gets dreams, and then some teaching from Sandstorm, and then Fawnstep who was the Ancient SkyClan med cat promises to teach her.
- She was stressed, angry, hurt and devastated beyond reason that the warrior code had been so utterly destroyed, as far as she could see it. So not bonkers, although if she went to court, her defense lawyer might claim that her balance of mind was disturbed!
- Interesting question! I think he might raise his eyebrows at the inclusion of daylight-warriors, because that’s a pretty radical departure from having all warriors live in the Clan, but I think he’d also be sympathetic to Leafstar’s determination to keep her young Clan going, and her willingness to be flexible in order to make that happen
- Interesting! I can’t recall who I assumed Crowfeather’s dad would be. If the stories suggest that it’s Deadfoot, then it probably is!
- I think he'd like to be more involved in their lives, but he can't, so he gets really bitter. I really like Crowfeather; I'm so sorry fate dealt him such a poor hand.
- Apart from Firestar, Cloudstar of Ancient SkyClan, because of the way he led his Clan through such a terrible time. And then came back to tell Firestar to revive his Clan. I'm so pleased that he was reunited with Birdflight - now there's a scene that made me go all teary.
- Rowanclaw. It's his reward for changing gender halfway through the arc!
- Yes, I'd love to include an albino cat, but I haven’t found exactly the right place yet.
- I think cats find out about it once they go to StarClan. Otherwise I think queens would threaten their kits with going to the Dark Forest if they are naughty!
- It’s an excellent idea, and thank you to everyone who signed the petition. All of the Erins are passionate about animal welfare , and in our private lives we do as much as we can to support charities that are close to our hearts – for people as well as animals. Diverting funds from a book would have to be organized by HarperCollins, however, and it hasn’t been discussed yet, although we’ll always bear it in mind. On that note, sometimes we receive criticism for not seeming to do much charity work. Actually, we are extremely active in a number of charities for both animals and children, but this is something we prefer not to broadcast.
