About Christy Nicholas
Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon)
Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Compulsion, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels.
Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were.
She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth, writing magical realism stories in both historical fantasy and time travel flavors.
Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.

As the clock ticks down, her grasp on sanity slips through her fingers, forcing her to fight for a centuries-old legacy or lose everything.

A deadly virus, a rogue time machine. Can a retired Time Agent brush up her skills before the clock runs out on the world?
Retired First Nations Temporal Agent Wilda Firestone wants nothing more than to run her Toronto costume shop for Time Tourists, spoil her cat, and drink her coffee. Her world is shaken when a deathly ill rogue time traveler falls on her doorstep and Wilda is dragged back into the fray to find the plague’s source. As she traces the traveler’s footsteps through time with her assistant, Mattea, they must travel to the luxurious court of Mansa Musa, the dark forests of pre-Columbian America, and fight against the heartbreak of true love. As they navigate politics, camels, and bandits, events take a dire turn when Wilda and Mattea discover a much larger conspiracy.
As they get closer to the plague’s source, they unearth a smuggling ring, get entangled in a convoluted coup, and discover horrific carnage. Just as Wilda gets close to the truth, she’s imprisoned in a 12th century Norse stronghold by an unstable Jarl. When another rogue traveler jeopardizes both her escape plan and her mission, Wilda is in danger of losing herself in the depths of her own deliberately forgotten past.
Can Wilda trace the deadly infection’s source before the plague takes her down?
Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd. is the first book of an exciting new series, the Toronto Time Agents.
“If you like strong, quirky female characters, rich historical settings, and intriguing twists, you’ll love Christy Nicholas’ fun and action-packed adventure” - Patrick Thomas, author of Fairy Rides The Lightning and the Murphy's Lore series

Clíodhna has three children and a missing husband, and now finds herself in the middle of growing quarrels with the new church.
When she encounters a strange man in the woods near her house, she discovers a kindred soul, someone to teach her to harness her own innate talents and powers.
At the new church, she develops a friendship with one of the monks, and shares many conversations with him about life, philosophy, and theology. For once, it seems her life is becoming a thing to be savored rather than a thing to simply survive.
Her new teacher, however, clashes with the ideals of the church. Her relationship with the monk is another source of conflict when a new church leader arrives.
A few rash decisions means she must now change her own fate. That means choosing between her happiness—perhaps even her life—and her family. It might be better for all involved if she leaves her children with a trusted friend and disappears into another world.
Can she flee a bad situation, leaving her children to the mercies of fate? Or does she have the power and ability to face the danger herself?
