Louise Riotte wrote 12 books on gardening, companion planting, and garden lore, among them the ever-popular Carrots Love Tomatoes, which has sold more than 515,000 copies. Her father taught her to believe in and practice astrology, while her mother was a practicing herbalist. All her books feature her own line drawings.
Before becoming a book author, Riotte was a ghost writer for Simon & Schuster and for Jerry Baker's national radio call-in show, "On the Garden Line," and she wrote a number of articles for Organic Gardening.
