Amazingly I've been with Puzzler Media for eight years but, as we all know, puzzling keeps you young, so it seems like no time at all. I've enjoyed editing Puzzle Compendium, 100 Wordsearch and Pocket Wordsearch.

Believe it or not, before joining Puzzler, I was just a regular crossword solver. Then I discovered the wonderful world of puzzles, such as logic problems, which I love solving – not always successfully!

Coming, as I did, from editing copy at my local newspaper, my present job makes me feel like a kid in a sweet shop – surrounded by the things I love. Every morning I still enjoy a crossword with a cup of tea, but after a puzzling day at work, I relax by doing something different – practising my violin. Across and down, but with a bow.
