Writer, crossword solver, guitarist. This is where I keep track of what I'm working on — stories, puzzle thoughts, and whatever else seems worth writing down.

At the Puzzle Desk
Notes and commentary on puzzles — mostly the LA Times, sometimes others. Brian is part of the Crossword Corner community and has been solving longer than he'll admit.
