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. She taught in Sierra Leone and England. She is a member of and has published reviews in the British Science Fiction Association.

Baldry is one of seven authors who writes under the pen name of Erin Hunter. Baldry has written for Warriors, in which wild cats strive for peace in their territories, 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). She was married to the late Peter Baldry, a scientist, and has two sons, Will and Adam.
