D-Day Prize Crossword

Crosswords will forever be associated with D-Day. The story is told of the D-Day codewords appearing in crosswords in the Daily Telegraph. It caused a bit of a stir. And it is around that story that my comic novel Crossword Ends in Violence (5) is based.

So given the anniversary this weekend, there is another chance to have a look at my D-Day themed prize crossword here. You may have looked at it before, or it may be new to you, but have a look and have a go. Print it out and pick at it over this week. It's not fiendish, but playful, I hope. And the prize is naturally a copy of my novel - Crossword Ends in Violence (5).

It is also available to buy here. Or on Amazon marketplace here.

Crossword Ends in Violence (5)

For a limited period, the entirety of my novel, Crossword Ends in Violence (5) is available for free as a download. So you can print it out (c. 116 pages of A5 (two pages per a4 page)). And you can read the whole thing. Or you can order it via Lulu as before. Just go here.

Daily Telegraph Cryptic

I meet quite a few people who like to cryptic crosswords. I meet quite a few more people who wish they could. Here's something that I've put up designed to help you unpick the clues in Daily Telegraph cryptic. It's not all of the solutions, but some. (I can't do them all myself, for a start). But it 'shows working' and might be of use to some.
