About the Author
Liz Cowley had a long career as an advertising copywriter. A lifelong fan of poetry, she enjoyed success with A Red Dress and What am I doing here?, made into a theatrical show in Ireland and the UK. She first became involved with botany working with John Akeroyd on Plant Talk, and turned her gardening hobby into Outside in my dressing gown, Gardening in Slippers and Green Fingers, soon called 'Britain's gardening poet'. A further humorous poetry book, Pass the Prosecco, Darling! was about cooking disasters. She has since written a war novel, From one hell to another, with her husband Donough O'Brien, together with three thrillers. Donough O'Brien enjoyed a marketing career in Britain and the USA, and having visited fifty-one countries, his first book was Fame by Chance, looking at places that only became famous by a twist of fate. Banana Skins covered the slips and screw-ups that brought the famous down to earth, In the heat of battle took a hard look at those who rose to the occasion in warfare and those who didn't, and WHO? examined the most remarkable people you've never heard of. He and Liz have a house in France, where they wrote From one hell to another, about the Spanish in the French resistance, and where John Akeroyd runs botanical tours, during which the idea of Plants & Us was born.
