Jenny Patterson

Jenny Patterson has loved solving word puzzles since she was a young girl working on crosswords with her English teacher mom. Never traveling without a puzzle book, she met The Puzzler on a flight to Australia. He was working on a Sudoku. Together they shared their love of these types of challenges and the rest, as they say, is history. Now, with over a dozen books to their credit, Jenny and The Puzzler continue to work steadily on creating Sudoku and word puzzles for the enjoyment of kids and adults.

Before her puzzle-making career, Jenny worked developing curriculum for a prestigious private school in Los Angeles. An important part of her job was ensuring the gradient approach to the child's education, ensuring each level could be mastered before the student went on to the next. By cultivating this high level of confidence and certainty the school graduated students prepared to succeed in this fast-moving and complicated world.

With her close friend, Toni, she wrote two children's joke books that were published by New York publishing house, Price, Stern, and Sloan. These books offered lots of laughs to young kids throughout the United States and other English speaking countries throughout the world.
