Hey everybody! It’s Dan (h3lix) from the forums. I started a book project a couple of years ago before I went on hiatus and just now finished it!
This book contains 112 hand designed puzzles that explore the combination of Killer and Anti-Chess variants and range in difficulty from Beginner to Insane. I will be posting new sample puzzles as Saturday Specials for the next few weeks.  The difficulty of the book is balanced more toward advanced solvers, but there are also instructions and tips for beginners. Additionally, this book also features walkthroughs for some of the insane puzzles.
100% of proceeds from this book will go to Architecture for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that’s working to bring design and construction services where they are needed most.
Thank you djape, for graciously allowing me to announce this project on your site.

Is there anywhere else to order this? I am stuck in the CreateSpace system and cannot get to billing and completing the order!
Mark,
This title should be available on Amazon sometime next week. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with the Createspace system. Out of curiosity, are you stuck on the shipping tab? There are two parts of that section, shipping address and shipping speed.
I get stuck on the billing tab. I try to use my shipping address as my billing or even set up a new billing address and it kicks me back to shipping. The system seems to think I need to submit an item and address royalty issues. I’ll practice on the sample puzzle and wait for Amazon. THANK YOU for providing a Killer addict with a new twist!! Mark
Hope you’re enjoying the sample puzzle, I have an INSANE one coming up next week. 🙂
I have a few of the obligatory questions: have you tried with an alternate browser? I used Firefox and when I ordered my proof copy, I went through the same screens you do, and I remember using separate profiles for shipping and billing, however my addresses themselves are actually different.
Are you sure you’re on the right checkout page? I can’t imagine why it would be expecting you to submit an item for publication if you’re in the right place.
Once again, sorry you’re having trouble with the system. I’ve tried looking through the Createspace Community for this issue, but haven’t found anything, but have found they provide incredibly fast and useful feedback if you’re having a problem. You might try posting your issue there (I considered opening a thread about it but I don’t know exactly what the pages you’ve seen have been saying)
Hey Mark, this title is now available on Amazon, much sooner than I expected!

Got it! I will have it in hand on Wed through Amazon Prime. Many, many thanks!! Oh yeah – IE. That was probably the problem. I was going to try to go through the process on another computer, but you and Amazon saved the day!
