Chalicea is Shirley Curran, a prolific compiler whom I've yet to meet. She lives on the Swiss border, is a retired language teacher and a ski instructor.

I've always found crossword compilers a "different breed". It's good to get to know their style.

What you may not know is that a couple of my own compositions have been posted and solved on here in the past.

I'll not tell you my online name just yet. I hope another grid will be accepted in the future. Here's one of hers that did not get through the net!

“Short communication from abstainer full of piss (5)” Pretty easy, but fun.
