Lizzi grew up riding wild in the Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods, became an equine veterinarian at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and practiced in the Gold and Pony Express Country of California before emigrating to New Zealand. She is the proud mother of two boys in that sea of green. When she's not writing, she's swinging a rapier or shooting a bow in medieval garb, riding or driving a carriage, playing in the garden on her hobby farm, singing, cooking, being an equine veterinarian or high school science teacher. She is multiply published and awarded in special interest magazines and veterinary periodicals.
With her debut novel, A Long Trail Rolling, she was Finalist 2013 RWNZ Great Beginnings; Winner 2014 RWNZ Pacific Hearts Award for the unpublished full manuscript; Winner 2015 RWNZ Koru Award for Best First Novel and third in Koru Long Novel section; and finalist in the 2015 Best Indie Book Award.
Hi all! Yes, I’m excited. Our Equi-Still Portable Equine Stocks have finally received their compliance certificate from the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) in the USA! It was a long haul, but the stringent requirements of the NATM compliance program means the trailers inherent to our Equi-Still Portable Equine Stocks should be compliant for …

Injured again? Really? Here’s a vet post for horse addicts or followers of my veterinary page. I hope you and your equestrian friends are doing well. Knock on wood, I’m injury free right now (we won’t talk about the atrial fibrillation…). I just heard about a friend and client who was injured by her own …
Hi all, I’m blogging about what could possibly make me write about history over at Authors of Main Street today, here! (here’s a little of our own history… Elliot found Maya in the new bin of organic spelt flour in the garage… hmmm… ) But I digress… (or is it regress?) Come on by and let …
Today, I’m welcoming a special guest, author Kathy Servian, writing as KA Servian, who has her own “very big house in the country”. Just like the lyrics to the Blur song, Country House, we lived in the city and about ten years ago, after watching too many episodes of Escape to the Country, decided that …

This year, with my boys grown and moved away, my partner and I decided to simply decorate our living room for the holidays with a ficus tree, a veer away from tradition. Rather than purchase a cut-your-own pine Christmas tree, for the first time we chose to honour our own tree—the one which lives with us every …
Happy Holidays from my family to yours, and a new release too! I hope you’re enjoying good health, good friends, and your favourite foods… and some new release books!

One of my jobs this weekend is to get Once Upon a Vet School 7 loaded to Amazon to be printed and was trying, once again, to determine the font size in some books I have to hand…and I found this! Today I’m observing Armistice or Veteran’s Day, and I hope you get the chance as …
I sure did…probably obsessed on riding the Pony Express, too, when I was a little girl riding out in the hills around La Honda, California. Maybe that’s why my first novel, A Long Trail Rolling, ended up being about the Pony Express…and a girl rider. Many have asked why I wrote about this for my first …
I’m not sure where the past month went since I decided, probably due a total lack of sense, to do a “revamp” on my website, or websites, rather. And combine them. And switch from a simple WordPress.com site to a self-hosted WordPress.org site. via GIPHY I have plenty of education, probably a lot more than …
