Author Interview from WriteStats, March 22, 2026.
INTERVIEW OPENING:
“In a publishing industry often driven by speed, trends, and algorithms, A.M. Potter represents something increasingly rare: a writer grounded in discipline, literary tradition, and narrative restraint.
A Canadian author with three published novels — Bay of Blood, The Color Red, and Silver Moon Rising — Potter writes within the literary detective and noir fiction space, where atmosphere matters, but clarity matters more.
Published by Stark House Press and Black Opal Books, A.M. Potter’s work reflects a core philosophy that becomes clear throughout this interview:
“You control your literary touches… and put the narrative arc first.”
This single insight encapsulates not just Potter’s writing style but a broader truth about what keeps readers engaged in modern fiction ….”
