Lizzy Shannon

Lizzy Shannon was born and bred in Northern Ireland, now lives at the End of the Oregon Trail, and collects air miles so she doesn't have to return by covered wagon.

A bestselling author and editor, her published works span many genres, including science fiction, Celtic nonfiction, fantasy, screenplays, and stageplays. Lizzy's latest novel is set amidst the worst era of Northern Ireland's 'Troubles' in the 70's, and based on true events in her life.

She is also working on translating her Great-Uncle Earnán de Blaghd's memoirs from Irish into English. A fascinating insight into one of the few Ulster Protestants who joined the Irish Volunteers and played an active role in planning the Uprising of 1916. He is remembered as a survivor of the rebellion, key in the creation of the Free State, and a member of the Dáil Éireann parliament.
