About Me
I’ve always been a ravenous “verbivore,” gobbling books on word origins, tinkering with poetry writing, playing Scrabble, and of course, solving crossword puzzles. Fifteen year ago I tried my hand at constructing crosswords and I’ve been honing my craft ever since.
My early crosswords were published in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and GAMES Magazine. I eventually sought Canadian markets with my work appearing in Saturday Night Magazine, Quill & Quire and Reader’s Digest,Canada. With the late Dave Macleod I co-authored four Canadian crossword books: Think Canadian! Crosswords, and O Canada Crosswords, vols. 8, 9 and 10. My ClassiCrosswords now appear in numerous publications and fresh puzzles are distributed once a week to subscribers.
Thank you for visiting my website. Happy crossword solving!
