Hold on to you hats….
The Silent Thaw will most likely be published Nov 2019; no official date has been set at time of posting, but I know you’ll be eager to discuss it, especially once you’ve read Lost Stars
(btw, I think you’re going to love this arc.)
Feb 12th, 2019: Page updated with cover! This is now a spoiler page!
Feb 15th, 2019: Sorry, BlogClan! We’ve received word from the head honchos of the Erins, and we have to take down the cover as they are not yet finished or ready for the public. This will remain a spoiler page, but a placeholder image will be displayed until further notice!
May 6th, 2019: The cover is now back up, seeing that Harper Collins and Barnes & Nobles both have them up 🙂 Enjoy!
Note: We know you’re excited to continue reading about the lives of these characters, and love the world that the Erins have set up, but Kate is very busy and may not be able to get back to you regarding specific questions you may have – and she certainly can’t answer questions that spoil the next books! If a moderator or Kate tells you that they can’t answer your question, then we ask you to respect that answer. Thank you for your understanding! 🙂

Based on the prologue, we know that Bramblestar is not in is body and some other cat is. I have two guesses on who it may be, 1.) Ashfur
I think it may be Ashfur because there was a part when his tone softened when taking to Squirrelflight, and at the end of LS “Bramblestar” said that it’s good to be back with her. 2.) Darktail, I don’t have a lot of evidence to support this one besides “Bramblestar” being so curious and saying that the warriors den should be repaired first.

WHAT! WHERE DO YOU FIND THIS SAMPLE??
I think it’s on iBooks. Hopefully they’ll release the sample on other sites too soon.
Hi Kate, who is your favorite cat in the warrior’s universe?
If you were a clan cat, what would you want your name to be?
Graystripe. We go back a long way.
I still haven’t decided on my idea warrior name!
Would it be Cakeheart? Since your leader name is Cakestar?
Is cake allowed for a true warrior name though….? Works for Blogclan, but say I joined RiverClan… OMG…RiverClan. I bet I’d be called Fishface.
Fishface is wonderful name 😀 I do wonder if the warrior cats are aware what cake it :/
RiverClan honestly has the best names though, Havenpelt is so pretty
Love RiverClan ❤️
Fishface?! 😂😂😂
I sometimes call my cat Fishbreath if she’s been eating fish …
😀
Fishface was once of my OCs 😛
🙂
….Cakesprinkle?
Lol 🙂 not bad…
Cakefrost? 😛
😀 As in frosting…? Love it!

IKR? My son is in a constant state of awe. My Kateness is unbounded. 😀
I really hope we can see Rosetail, Hazeltail, Thunderstar, Shadowstar, Riverstar, Windstar, Skystar or Lionheart in StarClan. We need to see them more and they deserve it!
They got Spirit Eaters right.
please come back dark forest cats weak clans mean easy take over 🙂
would velvet meet Alderheart again?
perhaps
Who knows?
probably notBut I ship it 😛
To Kate: Hey Kate, i’ve been wondering this for a while now..Are Whitestorm and Brindleface really mates? They only spend time together two times in the first five books from the first series, and Whitestorm didn’t seem sad when Brindleface died, and i don’t think he ever talked to Elderkit, Tulipkit, Fernkit(cloud) and Ashkit(fur)…So, are they mates or not? It’s okay if you can’t answer!
Some of the background characters don’t get as much attention as they deserve because we try hard to focus on keeping the plot exciting and moving forward without too many distractions, but I’m pretty sure they were really mates (it’s hard to remember everyone’s relationships!!)
Do you have any headcannons for any of the Warriors characters you write?
I headcannon Heavystep as immortal
I headcannon Graystripe as the death-dodger.
well mistystar is immortal too
What is the difference between dark ginger like squirrelflight, orange cats like bellaleaf, and russet cats like foxleap.
Personally I see it like this:
Dark ginger – Auburn colour, as shown here: Example. The second one on the far left and in the middle are how I see dark ginger.)
Orange – I can’t help but see cats described as this as a bright neon orange, because the correct term is ginger. At most they’d be a slightly lighter ginger than Firestar on the Into the Wild cover per say, but otherwise they are exactly the same. Same thing with pale ginger and cream, it’s just…please be consistent with the terminology, both are exactly the same (this can apply to yellow too but honestly I see it more of a light golden colour, not cream)
Russet – Like with the image I linked above, it’s a variant of auburn colours. However, go to the darkest side of it and that’s how I interpret it. Basically just darker dark ginger cats.
All of them are genetically tabbies and are ginger anyways, though.
I would really like if Shadowpaw has kits, I don’t know why, but if he does I want him to name one of them Demonkit – Demonpaw – Demonstep
Kate do you think Ashfur was faking his calmness when he dipped his head to Squirrelflight? Do you think he still wants revenge?
W.A.S
So the villain IS Ashfur!! Knew it!
I wouldn’t say that’s a correct conclusion to draw. 🙂 He might be or might not be; all Kate has said is that you can wait and see whether or not Ashfur turns out to be either.
Wait and see means wait and see if it happens, not necessarily wait and see it happen.
Kate it’s getting closer and closer to SE13 could you at least please tell us which Clan it’s about?
I’m leaving it in the paws of Cherith and the ed team – I’m asking no questions because I love anticipation!
I have a theory on Wrenpaw’s dead siblings. I honestly think they were born dead, and by that i mean ‘stillborn’ such as (SPOILER FOR SQUIRRELFLIGHT’S HOPE)
-Such as how Flickerkit was born.
Anyway, i think one of them was a tom and got named Rileykit, after Rileypool, Bellaleaf’s brother, and probably Rileykit looked a lot like Rileypool. And maybe the second kit was a she-kit and got named Waspkit, after Rabbitleap’s father, since Rabbitleap is Bellaleaf’s mate. Probably Waspkit looked a lot like Waspwhisker. And yes, i know Waspwhisker was a tom, but i think it would be cute for a she-cat to have the name Wasp.
Also, you may be thinking, why would two mates name their kits if they’re born dead? Well, probably Bellaleaf and Rabbitleap wanted the kits to go in Starclan while having names. And probably Waspwhisker died and knew the way to Starclan, or another dead cat showed him the way to Starclan. Maybe Waspwhisker showed Waspkit and Rileykit the way to Starclan?
Anyway, that’s my theory on Wrenpaw’s siblings!
You could make this into an article!
This is an interesting idea for a fanfiction! 🙂
