Erin Hunter is inspired by a love of cats and a facination with the ferocity of the natural world. In addition to having great respect for nature in all its forms, Erin enjoys creating rich mythical explanations for animal behaviour.^[1]^:作者页

艾琳·亨特（英Erin Hunter）是《猫武士》系列小说的作者。事实上，这是一个由六人共用的笔名。^[2]截至目前，艾琳·亨特团队由以下六人组成：

除后两人主要负责撰写狗武士以外，她们轮流撰写《猫武士》系列小说，并由维琪统稿。^[3]她们同时也是熊武士的作者。她们通过使用统一个笔名来避免同一系列的书籍具有不同的作者而可能对读者造成的困惑。在2017年，她们推出了第四系列－Bravelands。

命名

在一次访谈中，维多利亚·霍姆斯提到^[4]

我们希望这些书在架上能被放在布莱恩·雅克（Brian Jacques）的红墙（Redwall）系列附近，因为它也是动物的奇幻系列。所以我们需要一个开头是H、I或K的姓氏，而“Hunter”（猎人）似乎和我们凶残的猫群们相当匹配（另外它也接近H尾巴）。至于名字的部分，我就只是单纯的很喜欢Erin，而且它也符合我所想像的作者的凯尔特特质。
