Dan Willis is an author of young adult and other fantasy novels in the Dragonlance series created by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. He lives in Utah. These fantasy novels were his first books published by a major publisher, and his first young adult works as well. All three of his Dragonlance: The New Adventures books are on the accelerated reading list for a junior high school in Utah.
Dragon Knight, the seventh volume in an eight volume series, has been described as the best in the series. The Dragon Well, however, was described by Geri Diorio of the Voice of Youth Advocates, professional journal for librarians, as "reminding the reviewer of a B movie" though "no doubt Dragonlance fans (and their younger siblings) will demand these books..." The book was given a 2Q, with a potential of a 3Q on their review scale.
Willis lives in Utah with his wife and four children. In addition to writing, Willis is a web designer and columnist, and a computer programmer.
