Liz (aka big badbetty )is a middle aged housewife from the suburbs who lives a life of so called domestic bliss that involves juggling many children, cooking many meals, and working too hard paid and unpaid. Sounds familiar?

Liz does not see her work as confrontational, she merely sees herself as an observer of life and has worked in many varied and unusual settings, which have equipped her with the material she writes about. She believes that there are no limits as to what she writes about, and makes no apologies to those she may offend, however she believes that every story should be told and heard. Most of her words are dictated while in the company of dogs at 5am on the coldest of mornings.

… what a success
your soul is empty
… what a shame.

There’s a kind of paradox of directness and tenderness in the way that Liz relates to you and what her work presents. Audiences have reacted as rabbits caught in headlights who slowly recover when the glare of words cease. However Liz’s aspiration is that her words may provoke further thought and action.
Writers who have inspired her are Dylan Thomas, Myles Na Gcopaleen, John Cooper Clark, and the Sex Pistols - amazingly they are all men who have inspired her feminist works, go figure that one, but that’s Liz, an anomaly.
