I've finally finished the transcript of the August 14, 2010 Erin Hunter chat! All four Erins were present: Victoria (Vicky) Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and Tui Sutherland.

The chat is huge, so I divided it into two parts:

This is part 2: click here for part 1

As usual, people started gathering in the chat room early in the day. Author chat days are like festival days on Wands and Worlds!

Braveheart42: Hi!

Lakestorm Wright joined.

Hello, good people! It's that time again: time to submit your questions for next month's Erin Hunter chat. You will have the chance to chat live in real time with the Erins, but because the Erin Hunter chats tend to be pretty crowded, we started asking for people to submit questions in advance, to give everyone a chance to have a question answered.

Our next Erin Hunter chat has been scheduled for August 14, 2010. Victoria (Vicky) Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and Tui Sutherland, who write the Warriors and Seekers books under the name Erin Hunter, will be here to chat with fans and answer questions.

The chat will be held at the following times:

Eastern: 7:00pm
Central: 6:00pm
Mountain: 5:00pm
Pacific: 4:00pm
Arizona: 4:00pm

Good news! Vicky sent me her tour schedule for the April, 2010 Erin Hunter tour! Here it is:

I'm not sure if any of you have already seen these, but I found the covers to the first Seekers manga and The Last Wilderness.

Iceclaw(Q): Has Brambleclaw left Squirrelflight or are they still together just with some issues?

On June 27, 2009, the four writers who write the Warriors and Seekers series under the pseudonym Erin Hunter visited Wands and Worlds for an author chat. The four "Erins," as we call them - Victoria Holmes, Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, and Tui Sutherland, are Wands and Worlds favorites, and this is the sixth Erin Hunter chat that we've hosted.

It's official: we're having another Erin Hunter chat! All four of the fabulous Erins: Vicky Holmes, Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry, and Tui Sutherland, will be joining Wands and Worlds members on June 27, 2009, for an Erin Hunter chat to talk about the latest Warriors and Seekers projects!

Vicky Holmes will be in the U.S. next month for a tour to promote the release of Sunrise, the sixth and final book of Warriors: The Power of Three! She just sent me her preliminary schedule; more details will be coming soon. Here are the dates and locations of the tour:

Great news! I got an email from "Erin Hunter" Vicky Holmes, and she'll doing an Erin Hunter tour in the U.S. again this Spring!

Hi everyone,

Here's a blog post written by all four Erins, and Tui even mentions Wands and Worlds!

Donations continue to come in for the Brightspirit auction, and we have many exciting and unique items. This week, BookPeople donated a ticket to attend Camp Half-Blood 2009, based on the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, in Austin Texas next summer! And Rick Riordan announced the auction on his blog last week!

The Brightspirit Relief Fund Auction site is now live! For those who don't know, I've been setting up the auction site for a charitable auction to be held online in memory of Emmy Grace Cherry, a 10-year-old Warriors fan who lost her life in a tornado in Arkansas in February. The auction will raise money for literacy, storm relief, and animal awareness.

Tui Sutherland made a great post on her blog about the Wands and Worlds chat, including shout outs to some individual W&W members! She thinks we're awesome!

I think Tui's awesome, too! Wait, if she thinks we're awesome and linked to us, and we think she's awesome and linked back to her, doesn't that create a kind of feedback loop?

On August 16, 2008, the authors who write as Erin Hunter joined us once again for an author chat. This time, Tui Sutherland, who wrote Secrets of the Clans and Seekers, Book 1: The Quest Begins, joined us for the first time, along with veteran chatters Kate Cary, Vicky Holmes, and Cherith Baldry.
