Crostic Collection: Presented by Sue Gleason at www.doublecrostic.com, Paperback

Julian Schrock started as an acrostic constructor by contributing a couple of puzzles to the Thomas Middleton Simon and Schuster books back in the early 80s. Since then he has sold over 1000 puzzles to Dell Publications. Since 2007 we have published over 300 of his puzzles online at Sue Gleason's doublecrostic website. Members and guests particularly enjoy solving Julian's puzzles. Here are some of his fan letters from the website: "Julian, I just love your puzzles for all the clever pop culture references and the great poetic quotes." "Wonderful choice for quote. I adore Julian's puzzles because I can always depend on a few answers easy enough for me to get a start in the puzzle without resorting to swearing and Google." "As usual, Julian, a masterpiece "

Julian Schrock lived in Vermont for more than 30 years, and began creating acrostics in the early 1980's, primarily to get his wife's attention. Mrs. Schrock was an avid crostic puzzle fan. Mr. Schrock has always had a love for the "English" language and has enjoyed finding quotes and words that fit crostic puzzles. In his younger days, he worked in the business world. He and his wife raised four children. Now in retirement, in addition to puzzle making, he enjoys gardening and writing poetry.
