Deborah Challinor, #1 bestselling historical fiction author,
says of Lizzi’s historicals:
“Very descriptive, rich with research woven into the narrative, fairly informal and therefore eminently readable.
Lizzi’s Books
Lizzi’s awarded historical and contemporary suspense, women’s, YA, and veterinary fiction has an equestrian flair, part and parcel of her other life as an equine veterinarian and carriage competitor.
The Long Trails historical fiction sagas follow a growing list of dashing heroes and heroines from the wilderness of 1860 Utah to Colonial New Zealand, Historical Scotland, and Tsarist Russia. Not necessarily in that order!
In the Once Upon a Vet School series, you’ll find the tale of a gutsy equestrian who dreamed of becoming a vet—her life on the way and beyond. Did YOU ever dream of becoming a vet?
Bio
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.

Of Particular Interest to New Zealand Media
In Book Three of The Long Trails series, (A Sea of Green Unfolding), my heroine travels by barque from the San Francisco Bay Area to the East Coast of New Zealand. She finds a ride on a trader to the Hauraki Plains (at that time, a swamp), across the chain of redoubts, including the Miranda Redoubt at Pūukorokoro, the Esk Redoubt, and the Surrey Redoubt (near Paparata pā) on through to Queen’s Redoubt at Pokeno (then, Pokino), en route to Clevedon (then, Wairoa) and Auckland in the 1863 start of the Waikato Wars.
