Got them all, but needed the hint. Good teaser!!!
Very well done. I really enjoyed it, even though I figured out only three of them.
Good one!
Very good! Needed the hint for the Plumber and Astrologer. LOL
I got Paige Turner as the author, but the rest stumped me. Good Quiz.
Good one! Got most of them but missed a few! Thanks!
Gave up too soon and went for the hint. The hint made it easy, but it was a doozy. Great teaser.
Got only the author on my own; then the hints of course gave it all away, but it was fun.
I love these teasers! I have never seen one like it! It makes me think a little. It is also great for a laugh!
One of a kind teaser.
Very fun and creative!
Got Paige AND Dinah before the hint!! WOOHOO!
I don't know how I didn't get Crystal Ball first! As soon as I opened the hint I knew it!
Please make more of these puzzles! i love them!
Thank-you Candi! There are two more of these teasers, as you may have guessed from the title.
I feel the most sorry for Lee King and Sue Mee, when they try to get their jobs!
I got Paige, picked Dino for Saures (sp?) , (Dino looks right) and picked Bea Major for the musician With the hint it was easy.
Very clever and not too easy. I only got two and then had to look at the hint. I liked this one.
Good one,
Like most was able to get Paige Turner without the hint, the others were easy knowing the first names.
A great teaser as usual Marc

Paige Turner is the name of some librarian!
Glad for hint! Fun!
Loved this one, but needed the hint.
excellent! Got my brain in gear this morning, thanks!
I found these to be fun and amusing! I needed the hint for the author and plumber. Well done!
That was really cute!
I figured them all out except Sue Mee. I was trying to think of a legal term that ended in "-my."
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got them all very quickly and did not need the hint.
Gr8 fun teaser, thanks!
Unfortunately, on my laptop the HINT link appears just below the Answer, so I avoid it as much as possible?

good teaser!!
Pretty good! Very hard, though. At least for me. I got the author, but that was it. With the hint, I got them all, but that's not very impressive. lol
I've met a Crystal Ball before
