She didn't expect to become a target, but she is one now! Seventeen year old Aleksandra, trained in the Cossack arts from infancy by her father, finds herself alone and running to prevent her Pa's killer from obtaining a secret coveted by the Russian Czar, one which could alter the forces of power in Europe. Disguised as a Pony Express rider in 1860's Utah Territory, she finds herself in even deeper trouble. Her Californio boss Xavier has a strength to match her own, but can they overcome their differences before the ever-increasing odds overtake them? With this debut Western Historical Adventure, Lizzi Tremayne won the 2014 RWNZ Pacific Hearts Award and was a finalist in the 2013 Great Beginnings A saga of the Old West with a multicultural cast of those who make up America, it would interest readers who enjoy Westerns, horses, American Indians, immigrants, and the Pony Express. It has a capable heroine, strong historical detail, period veterinary treatment and frontier-pushing characters. It compares to the work of Phillipa Gregory, Diana Gabaldon and Jean Auel, with a little Laura Ingalls Wilder thrown in.This novel is the first in The Long Trails quadrilogy of historical adventure sagas following her characters from the wilderness of 1860 Utah Territory to Colonial New Zealand.

Angela Oliver, Booksellers NZ Reviewer: An impressive debut from a New Zealand (ex-American) author. "A Long Trail Rolling" takes the reader on a journey to the wild west, to the trials and conflict faced by the enterprising souls determined to tame it and make it their home'a romance, a western, and an adventure story, all rolled up into a compelling read'This is an independently published title, and as such lacks a little of the glossy flare that comes through the big established printing houses. It should not, however, be judged on the quality of the cover but on the quality of the writing - which is of high calibre. I don't normally read romance, and I've never before read a western, but I devoured this one and am hungry for more
Lizzi grew up riding wild in the Santa Cruz Mountain redwoods, went to veterinary school at UC Davis and practiced in the California Pony Express and Gold Country 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, driving a carriage or playing in her 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.
