Would you like to know how I ended up writing The Hills of Gold Unchanging in the first place? My now-book 3 was to be book 2…
.
Find out by heading over to Kayelle Allen’s blog, where you’ll find the story behind this 170K word saga…that was meant to be a (lol) novella.
Hi all!
I hope you can buzz over to Kayelle Allen’s site to see the new post I’ve put up about my soon to be released The Hills of Gold Unchanging!

Good morning!
A Long Trail Rolling has made the New Zealand Book Council Summer Reads List! 
Booksellers NZ discusses the program here! They’re keen to inspire interest in home-grown talent!
A cast of New Zealand writers have selected their top picks from the Aotearoa-grown bookshelves to help guide kiwis in their Summer reading goals.
Aotearoa Summer Reads launches with Fairfax Media on Sunday 11 December with not-your-average-housewife and author Gilda Kirkpatrick talking us through her book picks via video on Stuff.co.nz, and with the first reveal of the extended reading list in the Sunday Star Times.
Writers Catherine Chidgey, Carl Nixon, Albert Wendt, Kelly Ana Morey, Jenny Pattrick and Leeanna Morgan have between them orchestrated a stellar list of more than twenty books to inspire our reading choices for the next few months.
It was announced on Stuff online news here
Fairfax Media has picked it up, so the announcement was in the Sunday Star TImes this past weekend, and will be out everywhere!
Pretty exciting stuff!
🙂
Take care, and have a safe and lovely holiday season! 🙂

Hello all,
I’m blogging today over at Bluestocking Belles page in their gossipy Teatime Tattler!
Hope you can make it for tea! Come on by!
just click on the link above!
This is an original bit of story. The scene’s written, but this wasn’t included. It might be now! It’s from one of the upcoming, soon to be released novels in The Long Trails Quadrilogy.
Hope you like it!

Lizzi, at home, writing in an island paradise… Thanks to Kajai Lang for the lovely photography.
I’ve just entered! 🙂
The four categories in the New Zealand Heritage Writing Competition are Fiction Book, Non-Fiction book, Poetry and Short Prose.
Hi All!
Spent a great day and a half in Old Sacramento!
Stayed at the Vagabond Inn Executive-Sacramento (Old Town), which I highly recommend for value for money, great people and great offerings! Plus, they’re right across the street from Old Sacramento!
I was met by the Pony Express larger-than-life statue, and after being hurried out of the enclosure by a bicycle policewoman, was lucky enough to have my photo taken by my old friend Dan!
The Sacramento History Museum was great, and their merchandising manager has copies of A Long Trail Rolling and two books by Pat Hearty and Joe Hatch for review! Here’s hoping they want to carry them in the museum!
It’s lovely at night, after the best fresh chiles rellenos I’ve ever had at La Terraza, the buildings all lit up all over Old Sac…
Then onto the Amtrak at Old Sac, LOVELY old building…
Hmmm.. so this is what happens when one moves too quickly with the panorama setting… but it’s lovely nonetheless!
And on to Eureka, Fortuna and Bayside for three more talks!
The first one was today, and we made the newspapers and websites here!
And wouldn’t you just love to have one of these 16th C windows in your front door? Found them at The Blacksmith’s Shop
It’s in Ferndale, lovely place!
Thanks for showing me some of your most special places around Eureka and Arcata, Mum and Lars!
Have a great day, all!
Two more talks tomorrow, if you missed today’s!
3 pm at the Humboldt County Main Library at Eureka and
7 pm at the Bayside Grange !
Come on by!
