Royston Potter was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in Hyattsville, Maryland. He holds a PhD in Biblical Interpretation and Historical Analysis, a Bachelor of Science degree in Law and Justice Administration, and is a graduate of the United States Army Command and General Staff College. As a commissioned officer in the United States Army he completed assignments in the Military Police and Military Intelligence fields.

Having always had an abiding interest in historical and spiritual matters, he studied several disciplines and religions for many years.  The last ten years, since 1995, he spent almost entirely in the Hebrew language and its esoteric meanings as presented in the mystical aspects of Judaism, known as Kabbalah.

He brings to the reader a new approach to history and the roots of religious expression, redefining the origins of the western world. His insights reflected in this book are directly related to his personal studies and his military experiences.

He now resides in Evanston, Wyoming.

   Thank you for visiting the website for the novel "The Crimson Thread." While I understand that this subject matter is very controversial, I would ask you to read the book before you make any hasty judgments. Remember, official history is written by the winners. Just what did happen 2000 years ago? What really happened just ten years ago? To find the truth, we must be able, and willing, to seek beyond what appears directly before us in our culture, our education, our politics, and especially our religion. To base our understanding of history on a particular belief, and present it as immutable fact, is no better than denying the sun shining at noonday.
   Besides, you will enjoy the story.

Best to you and yours,

Royston Potter
