We are continuing our Grandmaster Puzzles Quarterly and Masterpiece Sudoku Mix series that we launched in 2021, and also starting a new, accessible puzzle series of &#8220;Starter Packs&#8221; for people to get into some of our different logic styles. In the same style as the Intro to GMPuzzles books, these Starter Packs will contain ~30 puzzles for ~$1.50 and all puzzles are from 1-2.5 stars in approximate difficulty. Eventually, as we release these books, we will also rebuild the web flow for these styles so that there is a way besides the &#8220;blog&#8221; to learn about the puzzles, how to use Penpa, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Book list:<br \/>\n1. <a href=https:\/\/shop.gmpuzzles.com\/products\/shading-variety-collection>Shading Variety Collection<\/a> by Prasanna Seshadri (January)<br \/>\n2. <a href=https:\/\/shop.gmpuzzles.com\/products\/starter-pack-1-fillomino>Starter Pack 1: Fillomino<\/a> by Grant Fikes (February)<br \/>\n3.

Grandmaster Puzzles Quarterly 6 (December)<\/p>\n<p>The eighteen book schedule is ambitious but lets us diversify the kinds of titles and different puzzles we are publishing while also taking up new goals like getting Penpa\/digital solving forms of these by sometime this year.<\/p>\n<p>Not on the &#8220;official&#8221; list, but part of projects I am working on separately, are releases containing our old patron puzzles including our &#8220;Giant&#8221; puzzles, starting a Giants annual book, and rereleasing some of my older books of sudoku variants and TomTom puzzles. There is also a very different but interesting puzzle collection book that has been stuck in editing that we hope to get out.<\/p>\n<p>Paired with this schedule, we have also started to look at how easily we can set up a &#8220;subscription&#8221; in our book store to automatically release these titles to people who want to have all books in a given series like GPQ or who want all books that we publish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wanted to start some of our 2022 updates for the year by sharing this draft schedule for our books, with most detail set for the first six months of the year.
