Dan Sutter

Writer + Game Designer

Over a period of six years, I wrote a sword-and-snowshoe adventure novel set in a fantastical age of antiquity. Inspired by the 2011 Snowmageddon, and with a main character based off my badass older sister, it was my first foray into very-long fiction. If you like dogs, snow, and swords, you'll love this book!Order The Coldest Day of the Year from any of these sites:
