I had always enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, but never had felt any urge to construct them. Then, on an autumn afternoon in ’07, my brain told me to jump in. Since that fateful day, I’ve published more than 100 puzzles in Games Magazine, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, the Simon & Schuster Mega collections, and other publications. Below you’ll find links to a few of my crosswords. You’ll also find out about a new daily puzzle that will debut soon.

LogiCross^TM is a new type of puzzle that combines the verbal challenge of crosswords with the logical thinking aspect of Sudoku. Coming later this year to a newspaper near you.

One of my mysteries, A Most Puzzling Murder, gave me a chance to incorporate what I know about puzzles and the puzzling community into a whodunit. Click the cover to find out more at amazon.com.

“Common Interests,” my first published puzzle, appeared in The New York Times on Sunday, 28 March 08. You can see it here.

“100 Years of Puzzling,” in The Los Angeles Times on 12 December 13, celebrated – you guessed it – 100 years of acrosses and downs. You can see it here.

One of my favorites is “Critical Periods,” which apppeared in The New York Times on 18 July 10. You can see it here.

“Mocking Time” appeared in The Los Angeles Times on 1 August 13. You can see it here.
