About the Author:
Kristiana Gregory grew up in Manhattan Beach, California, two blocks from the ocean. She's always loved to make up stories, telling her younger siblings whoppers that would leave them wide-eyed. Her first rejection letter at age eleven was for a poem she wrote in class when she was supposed to be doing a math assignment. She's had a myriad of odd jobs: telephone operator, lifeguard, camp counselor, reporter, book reviewer & columnist for the LA Times. Her most recent work is her memoir, BLUE SKIES: ONE AUTHOR'S JOURNEY. Kristiana's award-winning novels include STALKED, which earned the 2012 Gold Medal for Young Adult Mystery from Literary Classics and is hailed as "historical fiction with a thrilling twist." KIRKUS calls it "an atmospheric confection that will thrill YA readers ... Gregory achieves a realistic, rich atmosphere with insightful details about the immigration process and New York tenements in the early 1900s." Now available on Kindle and in paperback. JENNY OF THE TETONS [Harcourt] won the Golden Kite Award in 1989 and was the first of two-dozen historical novels for middle grade readers. Several of Kristiana's titles are now available on Kindle including "Curiously Odd Stories: Vol. 1 and Vol. 2" with the celebrated 'Paper Monument', a futuristic book-banning with horrific consequences. BRONTE'S BOOK CLUB [Holiday House] is set in a town by the sea and is inspired by the girls' book club Kristiana led for several years. Her most recent title with Scholastic's Dear America series is CANNONS AT DAWN, a sequel to the best-selling THE WINTER OF RED SNOW, which was made into a movie for the HBO Family Channel. New re-releases in ebooks and paperback on Amazon: **PRAIRIE RIVER SERIES #1-4 **ORPHAN RUNAWAYS: THE PERILOUS ESCAPE TO BODIE **CABIN CREEK MYSTERIES #7: THE PHANTOM OF HIDDEN HORSE RANCH **THE WAITING LIGHT: CLEMENTINE'S STORY -- originally titled "My Darlin' Clementine" [Holiday House] this riveting historical mystery takes place in an Idaho mining camp of 1866, and was Idaho's representative for the 2010 National Book Festival in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Library of Congress. Kristiana and her husband have two adult sons, and live in Idaho with their two golden retrievers. In her spare time she loves to swim, walk, hike, read, and hang out with friends.

From Booklist:
Gr. 6-8. In Gregory's fine sequel to The Legend of Jimmy Spoon (1990), 17-year-old Jimmy is working in his father's store and pining for adventure. The two years he spent with Washakie's tribe were far more enjoyable than his life in Salt Lake City, and he longs to return to his Shoshoni family. An advertisement seeking riders for the Pony Express offers an irresistible challenge: the work seems both dangerous and heroic, and it provides an opportunity to travel through Shoshoni territory. There are some exciting adventures and new friendships for Jimmy, but there's also the discovery that carrying the mail doesn't quite live up to Jimmy's glamorous expectations. Gregory packs her short chapters with enough action, drama, and humor to please even hard-core reluctant readers, and her afterword provides additional information about real historical figures who appeared in her story. She also includes a glossary and an extensive bibliography. A painless way to learn about American history and the Pony Express. Chris Sherman
