ACROSTICS BY CYN

Occasionally, I make a goof in one of my puzzles — yep, it happens. Fortunately, one of my wonderful eagle-eyed solvers will usually catch it and let me know. 

 

Any time an error is brought to my attention I correct it as soon as I can, and then post the correction here.

 

Thank you for keeping me on my toes! I aim to keep my books as error-free as possible, so please don't hesitate to let me know any time you catch a mistake.  :)

January 18, 2017: American Acrostics Volume 4, Puzzle #17.  Oops! The book the quotation solution for this puzzle was taken from contains an error. I've edited the quotation solution to remove the error, and revised the puzzle and solution page accordingly. Puzzle #17 in all volumes published after January 18, 2017 should be accurate. For those who have copies of the book published before that date, here's a PDF of the corrected puzzle: Churning It Out (be sure to select "fit to page" before printing).
