A zine – pronounced zeen – derived from magazine – is an independently or self-published booklet, … more at Wikipedea .  I have created my own zine in order to provide a little taste of my pic-a-pix puzzles:  ZinePicapix  is a two-page pdf file which only requires folding and stapling after printing.  One page will fit inside the other, as the page numbers indicate.

Why a puzzle zine?

Shelf Life Books of Calgary, an independent bookstore, suggested I create a zine to accompany their display of my first Japanese logic puzzle book titled “Pic-a-Pix the Latest Puzzling Fix”.  I agree that it would be a great introductory tool for those curious puzzle-types, you know the ones that have an eye out for something new and challenging.

Hope you enjoy it and/or share it with somebody who will.  Thanks for your time.

Grid Puzzle Good News

Can’t believe it’s been a year and a half now that the Gateway Gazette Newspaper has been featuring my picapix puzzles.  And if you haven’t heard their good news yet – they  just launched their new format of Digital Newspaper, with fresh ‘Good news only’ every day now.  Congratulations!

This is such good news for myself as well, since a new puzzle of mine is featured every other Wednesday, see Fun Stuff page.  These are a great way to practice and learn how to do picapix puzzles.

A Picture to Puzzle Over was great promotion for me.  Great stories from a great newspaper!
