About this ebook

All Maura wants is a peaceful winter holidays in her Irish castle, but her ex is threatening her with family court, and her second grader has invited a strange—completely unclothed—friend, to spend the holidays with them. Oh. And the friend’s dog, which is not actually a dog but probably one of the white deer of Celtic myth.

Maura distracts herself from her husband’s threats by trying to discover why a Fae deer is in her kitchen, when the two accidentally end up in the Ireland of ancient myth. The White Deer was the human queen of this castle, but she has husband trouble too. Can Maura help her new friend, and will she ever make it home to her children? 


This novella is perfect for one or two reading sessions. It will appeal to readers who enjoy cozy fantasy, ancient history, Irish folklore, and uplifting stories about motherhood and found family.

About the author

Christy Matheson writes uplifting romantic fiction about friends, family, and finding one's place in an ever-changing world. She is an editor and contributor for Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women, a historical short-story anthology. Her novels are represented by Kristina Sutton-Lennon, are on submission with publishers, and have won pre-publication awards. 


While she is waiting for the slow traditional publication process, Christy is bubbling over with short stories. “The Horned Women” is the first of a series of fairy tale retellings due to be released in winter 2025, and she’s back at work on Feisty Deeds II.


Christy is also 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.
