Dan Potter

"I've always preferred writing books for young children.. but rabid fantasy fans are actually similar in many ways."

An author of several canon ELotH works. Dan Potter is a Canadian fantasy and children's author who lives in Moncton, New Brunswick. He has a Master's degree in Medieval Studies and another Master's in English literature.

Potter came to the attention of Realmworlds talent scouts with his seminal children's fantasy novel series, the Harry Scary books based on the adventures of a young werewolf. The success of the Harry Scary novels was hoped to be leveraged in raising the percieved poor quality level of the ElemenstorLance pulp novel series. Although marginally successful in this endevor (winning the covetted 2004 G.L.G.A.O.A.P.F.G.) the executives at Realmworlds quickly realized that they had no true movitation or desire to raise the quality of that novel line and moved his next novel to the slightly more posh company of the Elemenstors of the Peninsula Presents book series in 2004.

Dan Potter is currently penning the second novel of the Brotherhood Octology series of eight books (being written roughly simultaneously), which should be another premeire title for the publishers. Sadly with Dan Potter's untimely demise the fate of this book is in question.
