The Quest Begins is the first novel in the "Seekers" series.
 It was written by Erin Hunter, which is a pseudonym used by authors Cherith Baldry, Kate Cary, Tui Sutherland and editor Victoria Holmes.
 The novel follows the adventures of four bears, Toklo, Kallik, Lusa and Ujurak.
 Each bear is stranded by themselves in the wild and must learn to survive.
 The declining environment of the bears is the main theme conveyed throughout the novel.
 Like the "Warriors" series also written by Erin Hunter, "Seekers" began as a request from HarperCollins who requested another animal story.
 The company and Victoria Holmes agreed to write about bears after discarding dogs, horses and dolphins.
 The novel was released in the US on 27 May 2008 and has also been released in the UK, Canada and translated into Russian.
 Critical reception was positive with reviewers praising the realistic behaviour of the bears.

 De Paul teamed up with former Eurovision singing partner Mike Moran to write the jaunty, jazzy and uptempo "Without You".
 The album also featured an updated, rerecording of her earlier hit single "My Man and Me", giving it a more blues/country style than the original ballad.
