“In a world torn by opposing ideologies and violent conflict, the crossword provides a quiet pleasure and a relaxing exercise for the mind,” said Mellor a resident of Carlsbad, California. “I love bringing the challenge of crosswords to people of all walks of life and I created 25 crossword books of all levels of difficulty for everyone to enjoy.
“You can find my crossword books at https://www.ilovecrosswords.com. The books are arranged by difficulty level and there are “easy peasy” crossword books for beginning solvers, very challenging puzzles for veteran crossword lovers and even giant “Sunday size” crossword books for those who like to enjoy a long Sunday morning deciphering them.
