More puzzles will be posted throughout. Hopefully, they will be progressively better.

I think that 1... Qxa3 isn't a probable move, but any way its a coherent puzzle so good job!

In the original post, black would likely respond with 1...c5.  That's not a big deal though, because you have made a puzzle in which the winning side will win easily with or without an immediate mate.

As a matter of fact, all three puzzles show white with a significant material advantage and active pieces, while black is shown defending an already poor position.  Perhaps your next puzzle should have the win come from an equal or inferior position.  That way there's something at stake.

Nine moves in this one. Black makes a blunder here and there. If someone sees one which works faster, tell me and I'll adjust it!
