Double Jeopardy by Ferret



Apart from 1 and 13 Across which are normal, every clue is really two clues, separated by an extra word, leading to two symmetrically placed answers; either answer may be clued first. In clue order, the initial letters of extra words provide a hint to the theme.
One jeopardy (8 contiguous cells along an appropriate path) must be moved thematically towards the other (6 cells in a line), leaving empty cells, replacing the contents of others and, ignoring spaces, always forming real words. Solvers must highlight the full name of the theme’s author (a total of thirteen cells).
