Hi there! I’m Ellen Potter, the author of 27 (yes, 27!) children’s books. When I’m not typing at my desk, I’m surrounded by my real-life quirky characters—a pack of adorable dogs and a couple of friendly horses.
I'm excited for you to see Skaneateles! It has some of the best dining around, great shops, and don't even get me started on our gorgeous lake.
My four-legged crew and I can’t wait to welcome you to our corner of paradise!
