Biography

Iserles was born in Israel. When she was 3 years old, she and her family moved to England. Her family moved again when she was 11. This time, she moved into Tucson, Arizona, where she remembered viewing a lot of wildlife. Iserles always loved animals and kept many pets including hamsters, goldfish, rabbits, and cats.

Inbali Iserles is a children’s writer and keeper of exotic rodents. The idea for her first novel, The Tygrine Cat, came to her as she distracted a peevish infant with a book on cat breeds – she began to imagine a rivalry between ancient feline tribes. A chance discovery on a London street set in motion the theme of her second novel, The Bloodstone Bird, one of The Independent’s 50 Best Winter Reads for 2009/2010. The Tygrine Cat: On the Run was published in January 2011.

Inbali Iserles is one of the 4 authors working on the series Survivors and takes under the pen name, Erin Hunter.

Inbali lives in Cambridge, England, with her family, including her principal writing mascot, Michi, who looks like an Arctic fox and acts like a cat, but is in fact a dog.
