ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Peter Forrestal is a freelance writer who has been a teacher, an educational consultant and a curriculum writer. After authoring, co-authoring or editing 33 books and conducting workshops on English teaching throughout Australia and internationally, he was lured into the impoverished life of a wine writer. Some say that the high life of gourmet food and wine beats marking essays and yard duty. Peter is more circumspect as he ponders the next tasting of 90 pinot grigios (before lunch) and yet another impossible deadline.

Laura Deiru is an experienced English Secondary teacher who has led in-services on curriculum development for English teachers.
