The Secret Community Thriving
February 28, 2005
The treasure hunting community continues to amaze me with their dedication and ingenuity. Recent discussions on Quest4Treasure and other forums show hunters are getting closer to solving several puzzles.
I've been receiving fascinating theories about historical connections and ancient symbols. Some hunters are exploring angles I never considered when creating the original puzzles. The collaborative nature of modern treasure hunting is truly inspiring.
Historical Research Projects
February 12, 2005
I've been diving deep into some fascinating historical research lately. There are connections between ancient treasure traditions and modern puzzle-solving that most people never consider.
My current research involves Roman artifacts, medieval treasure legends, and some rather disturbing patterns in the deaths of treasure hunters throughout history. It's amazing how many "accidents" have befallen people who got too close to certain archaeological discoveries.
Some of this research is quite sensitive and involves ongoing investigations. I'm maintaining detailed files, but they're not ready for public release yet.
Industry Recognition
January 30, 2005
Honored to be recognized by Publishers Weekly as a "Digital Publishing Pioneer." It's gratifying to see the industry acknowledging the importance of simultaneous print and digital releases.
The graphic novel format continues to gain mainstream acceptance. What we started with Fiction Illustrated in the 1970s is now a major publishing category. Sometimes being ahead of your time pays off!
Mysterious Correspondence
January 18, 2005
I've been receiving some unusual emails lately from people claiming to have information about historical treasure conspiracies. Most are probably hoaxes, but a few contain details that are... unsettling.
One correspondent mentioned something called "The Order" and warned me about researching certain Roman artifacts. Probably just an overzealous fan of conspiracy theories, but the level of historical detail was impressive.
I'm documenting these communications just in case. You never know what might be useful for future treasure hunt designs!

Launching a new series of educational materials that combine entertainment with learning. These interactive guides will help students engage with history, science, and literature in new ways.
The key is making learning feel like an adventure. Every lesson should contain an element of mystery, discovery, and reward.
Boston Treasure Discovery!
October 2, 2004
BREAKING: The third Secret treasure has been found in Boston! Congratulations to the solving team who cracked the Roanoke Island puzzle.
This discovery proves that the remaining nine treasures are still out there, waiting for dedicated hunters. The community's collaborative approach to solving these puzzles continues to impress me.
Each discovery teaches us more about how people approach complex, multi-layered puzzles. The patterns are fascinating from both a psychological and historical perspective.
