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 TimesThe Los Angeles Times and GAMES Magazine. I eventually sought Canadian markets with my work appearing in Saturday Night MagazineQuill & 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!
