Denise Sutherland has been creating original puzzles for many years. Her speciality lies in writing themed puzzles. Latest NewsNovember 2008 - The Junior Canberra Puzzle Book (workbook) is out of print for the moment. You can still order the blackline master of this book, but the B5 workbooks have run out. Hopefully we'll be able to reprint them in the coming year - stay tuned! September 2008 - Denise is not accepting new commissions for puzzles until February 2009 as she is working full time on a new puzzle book for Wiley, Word Searches for Dummies, a book of over 250 new word search puzzles, of nine different varieties, as well as plenty of hints and tips, and even instructions on how to write your own word searches! This book is due for release in the USA and Canada in April 2009. August 2007 - there's a new free Find-a-Word for you to enjoy - this one is all about Italian foods and dishes. Buon divertimento! In other puzzling news, The Canberra Puzzle Book is in its third printing! July 2007 - Denise has written a big Harry Potter word search for The Sunday Age, which was published on page 5 of the 22 July 07 edition. January 2007 - Denise has written puzzles for the new web site, Write Better English, put together by the bright boys over at Research One. It's a wonderful place to visit if you want to improve your English, and there is a nice collection of challenging puzzles to try out too! Syndication! - Auspac Media, the oldest privately-owned syndication company in Australia, now represents Denise.

Along the way Denise has written, illustrated and published five puzzle books so far. The Amazing Animals Puzzle Book was written for the RSPCA in 2002 - all the puzzles are about animals and the activities of the RSPCA. The Fantastic Flying Doctors' Puzzle Book was written for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in 2003, and was reprinted in October 2006. The Alice Springs School of the Air Puzzle Book was written for the school in 2004, in collaboration with its students and teachers. In 2004 Sutherland Studios won an ACT Heritage Grant which enabled Denise to research, write and publish The Canberra Puzzle Book in 2005. As part of the grant, a free copy of the book was given to every Year 6 student in ACT government schools. In 2006 Sutherland Studios published its companion volume, The Junior Canberra Puzzle Book, for younger 'puzzle historians'. Both books continue to sell well, to the schools market and in national attractions in Canberra.
