Luke Daniel Paiva, M. Ed., is a teacher who lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife and two small boys. His favorite things about Shakespeare are his clever observations about people and ability to subtly (or not so subtly) mix it with humor.Roberto Irace was born in Naples just in time to see the first man on the moon. He grew up reading, drawing, playing with building blocks, and scraping his knees (a lot). He now lives under a volcano in front of the sea with his love and their beautiful cat, and has a little one who also loves to read, and play with building blocks.
