Make room for a little wonder.
A puzzle that draws you in. A page that asks for a little color. A story that takes you somewhere else. That is the kind of publisher we are building.
Our first book is taking shape
Sunday Drive
Take the scenic route.
A journey through five decades
1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s
50 large-print crosswords, with familiar places, everyday pleasures and a few half-forgotten words along the way.
A familiar word can take you back.
A song on the radio. A favorite place. Something you have not thought about in years. Sunday Drive begins with that small pleasure of recognition and turns it into a puzzle.
For people who enjoy a crossword, a little nostalgia and the satisfaction of taking their time.
Amazon link coming soon.
In development. Publication date to be announced.
So much can happen on a page.
We are starting with crosswords. Our ambitions reach into coloring, activities, children’s books and stories, with curiosity connecting them all.
Room for color
Lines to follow, creatures to meet and plenty of room to make a page your own. A direction we want to explore.

Somewhere new
