Thanks to my fellow teachers and my many thousands of students

since 1977, I have been able to write and publish 38 books since I started my writing

career in 1989.

Knowing what works in the classroom is of prime importance. I strongly

believe that one cannot write books unless one is in the classroom, since the needs of our students are constantly changing.

I believe that I have a commitment

to English language teaching, to the students who use my books

and to the teachers who chose my books over someone else’s. To that end, I feel it

is my duty to write my books alone since it is my name which goes

on each cover. I do not use ghost writers or teams of writers. What I do use is

various schools, students and teachers all over Greece to pilot my work. This I

find absolutely necessary.

For this reason, I take pride and care in what I do and hope that my efforts meet

all your demands and expectations.
