BETH: Originally from New York, I am a librarian, writer, and artist living in Los Angeles. My puzzles have appeared in Universal Crossword, Crosswords Club, Los Angeles Times, and Spyscape. This is my New York Times debut.
My mom was an avid solver, loved wordplay, and created crossword puzzles for family and friends. After she passed away, I was inspired by her love of crossword puzzles and tried my hand at constructing. I had no idea how taken I would be, but it's become a passion.
This puzzle grew from a library-related theme I was exploring when I noticed that "sad" spanned across the words READERS ADVISORY. I ran the idea by Trent and asked him if he wanted to collaborate. He said yes and suggested the revealer, GUT FEELING. We decided on a 59-letter set which took a few grids to get the fill you see today. I hope that you enjoy our puzzle!
A special thank you to Trent, Imani Tolliver, the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory, my family and friends, and my mom whose life continues to inspire me.
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy new year!
TRENT: It was an absolute delight to work with Beth. Since meeting through the Crossword Puzzle Collaboration Directory, we've had puzzles together in Universal and Spyscape. I'm so happy to see her published in the New York Times. I guarantee you will be seeing her name more in the future.
Since last I was in the New York Times, I've moved full-time into my private practice of psychology. You can check out my website and find out if you live in one of the 25 states where I practice via telehealth. I'd also like to invite you to visit my independent puzzle site, Grid Therapy. New puzzles are posted 2-4 times a month and they're free of charge. I hope to see you there!
