Christy Matheson writes uplifting romantic fiction about friends, family, and finding one's place in an ever-changing world. She is the author of the "Castle in Kilkenny: Fairy Tale" novellas, and editor and contributor for "Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women." Her Regency novels are represented by Kristina Sutton-Lennon, on submission with publishers, and have won pre-publication awards. Christy is an embroidery artist, classically trained pianist, and sews all of her own clothes. She lives in Oregon, on a country property that fondly reminds her of a Regency estate (except with a swing set instead of faux Greek ruins), with her five children, three Shelties, a bunny, and an improbable quantity of art supplies.
