To puzzle solvers and friends of puzzle solvers:
Last year, the New York Sun folded, taking with it one of the best series of crossword puzzles in the country. Peter Gordon, the former New York Sun puzzle editor, consistently produced extraordinary puzzles with fresh and entertaining themes rivaling those of the New York Times. About 10 months ago, I wrote a diary detailing that Peter was hoping to restart his crossword series, provided that enough solvers subscribed to them.
Well, I have some great news: Peter's puzzles are back -- this time under the name of Fireball Crosswords. They are a set of weekly puzzles that you can purchase for a very, very cheap price ($10!). Peter himself e-mailed me to request that I blog about it on Daily Kos, which is quite a nice gesture considering that I'm just an amateur crossword solver and blogger who's hoping to get a puzzle of my own published one day.
Fireball Crosswords will be launched in one week on January 14, so be sure to sign up for them soon! Follow me below the fold for more information.
