Author Biography: Pete Sharma - I describe myself as an "accidental author" - I wanted a book on CD-ROM so badly that I ended up writing one myself! Thanks to Summertown publishing for giving me that opportunity. Barney Barrett - fell into English language teaching sometime in the mid 1990s after deciding that the life of an academic film critic was not for me after all. I spent a half year in Spain teaching in-company at a car component factory then returned to the UK to work at a Business English school in Stratford-on-Avon which has been my proper job ever since.
