AVCX with Deanne Cliburn (and bonus 5x7!)

Deanne is awesome, and I would say she's destined for big things—but she's already accomplishing them all over the crossworld! I'm beyond honored to be a part of her first cryptic, and I know I won't be the only one waiting impatiently for her next one...

Deanne says: “Joe reached out to me to encourage me to take advantage of the opportunity to audition for an AVCX cryptic so, naturally, I roped him into collaborating with me. Joe was amazing to work with and we had so much fun writing clues that we made this fun little bonus 5x7 (link below).”

Big thanks to Steve Mossberg for his editing and the rest of the AVCX team for making this puzzle possible!

Hope you enjoy the puzzles!
