Novelist Brown (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dan

'novelist brown' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dan that I've seen before include "Jacob's fourth son" , "Skill level in judo" , "An expert in throws" , "Black-belt grade of proficiency" , "Dark and damp." .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
