Blog postWhen you write historical fiction and are invited by a group of historians (both Pākeha and Māori) who research and live (and whose ancestors lived…) in the exact area you’ve written about in one of your historical novels… well, you might forgive me for being a bit nervous. Perhaps even historically terrified!
It was well received, but one never knows if it’s politeness or not… but after the email I just received, well… it makes it all worth it.

REVIEWERS ARE SAYING:
“There are so many things to like about this story...The plot is well developed, and I particularly liked the attention to historical detail along the way. This...author...does her homework, and it shows. I was intrigued by this story...a cracking good yarn."
–Shelagh Merlin, NetGalley Reviewer
“The pace is fast, there’s plenty of action and adventure and a few twists I didn’t see coming. Lizzi Tremayne writes good characters, and that definitely includes the horses. For me, though, it’s the history that’s the star in this story. Good characters plus excellent history equals a great read, which is what this is.”
–Deborah Challinor, number one bestselling author and historian

With nothing left, they grasp at an invitation to a fresh start in New Zealand, but their peaceful journey is derailed by murder, mutiny, and mayhem... and they’re not even off the ship yet. Aleks and Xavier become separated before they can disembark into what is now a turbulent wilderness—where the wars between the settlers and the local Māori have only just begun. The opening shots of the New Zealand Wars are being fired—some straight at them. A Sea of Green Unfolding is the third book in the fantastic Long Trails historical fiction series.
Life couldn't be better.
Until it gets worse.
Newly emigrated to New Zealand, equine veterinarian Lena wants a "good Kiwi bloke", but they’re elusive as their nocturnal namesake. Her history with men is not, shall we say, salubrious.
Nigel’s avoiding females, unless they’re cows, horses, or his mother. After his first marriage, he won’t be responsible for anyone else’s life ever again.
Sparks fly when they meet, but not that first time, over the dirty instruments in a filthy cowshed. They’re made for each other... until Nigel remembers where he first saw her. And then the questions start.
