As the temperatures drop, there’s no doubt that fall has arrived! It’s the perfect season for quiet, thoughtful activities, like reading or solving puzzles. For this newsletter, I’ve chosen a sea-themed focus—because what could be better than getting cozy at home with a timeless maritime adventure?
This month, I’m busy working on the second book in my Nostalgic Word Search series, which will be my final puzzle book release of 2024. The first book, The Nostalgic Book Club Word Search, launched in September and celebrates classic fiction. I’m thrilled with how it turned out, and to celebrate its success, I’ve included three puzzles from the pages of this book inspired by classic nautical tales: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Old Man and the Sea, and Treasure Island.
If you love these puzzles and are hungry for more nostalgic book word searches, check out the full 125 puzzle book on Amazon. This book is available in large print as a paperback and in hardcover, and as a write-on eBook for the Kindle Scribe.

Some of my fondest childhood memories are of family sing-alongs to Beatles albums during long car trips. In the spirit of nostalgic sea journeys, the second installment of my First Stanza Word Search series features the opening lines of the classic Beatles song Yellow Submarine.
If you have a well-known poem or song you’d like to see as a word search, let me know. I’d be happy to add it to this series.
Please feel free to print the monthly newsletter puzzle as many times as you wish. You are welcome to hand it out to friends, family, students and anyone you think will enjoy it. Just don't sell it, distribute it electronically or pass it off as your own. Thanks!
