Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christy Nicholas is a wordsmith extraordinaire, weaving tales that blend history, fantasy, and a sprinkle of magic into a literary cauldron that bubbles with intrigue and delight. With a penchant for strong themes, bittersweet endings, and complex characters, her books are a rollercoaster ride through the corridors of imagination.

When she's not busy conjuring worlds and characters, Christy can be found traversing the globe, following her muse wherever it may lead, at least when she can afford it. Currently stationed in Connecticut, she daydreams of emerald landscapes and the haunting melodies of Irish music, wishing she could trade her skyscrapers for rolling green hills of Ireland.

Christy's household is ruled by two feline overlords, Mallory and Lana, who oversee her writing endeavors with a discerning eye and the occasional paw swipe at the keyboard. Her favorite pastime is hunkering down at her trusty computer, diving headfirst into historical rabbit holes like a fearless archaeologist.

Christy is a literary chameleon, donning various pen names to explore different genres and themes:

- Under the guise of C. N. Jackson, she invites readers on a time-traveling escapade through the Toronto Time Agents Series, where a sassy heroine, witty banter, and stakes higher than Mount Everest await.

- For those who prefer a dash of paranormal intrigue or a sprinkle of contemporary fantasy, Rowan Dillon is the name to remember. With cozy mysteries set in the emerald isle and stories brimming with snark and magic, her books are like a warm hug on a chilly Irish morning.

- Last but not least, Emeline Rhys takes the helm, steering readers through the tempestuous waters of women's fiction and timeslip romance. Adventure, spice, and a healthy dose of heartache are guaranteed in every page-turning tale.

So, whether you're craving a journey through time, a cozy mystery with a paranormal twist, or a romance that transcends the ages, Christy Nicholas—and her alter egos—are here to whisk you away on an unforgettable literary adventure. Just don't forget to pack your imagination!

4.0 out of 5 stars like asking a friend to give you some advice before a trip
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming is part of The Hidden Gems Series of travel books. I have enjoyed some of the author’s fiction books so was intrigued to read something a bit different that she’d written.

This book is for you if you’re thinking of visiting England and want some ideas of what to see or do. It’s particularly geared towards US American readers. I’d recommend reading this book early on, when you’re thinking about planning your trip, to get some inspiration and tips!

I did find the structuring of this book wasn’t quite to my taste. At times it gets repetitive, with the same information presented in multiple chapters, but this could help readers who are dipping in and out rather than reading the whole thing. Reflecting the author’s interests, the book begins with a whistlestop tour of “History and Myth”, “Superstitions and Beliefs” and “Gods and Saints”. While this is interesting, I would have liked to have this section more connected with the rest of the book, perhaps with an indication of where later in the book readers could learn more about places connected with the stories told.

It’s also worth being aware that this book is not comprehensive, and that some information may be out of date. The author notes that at least one of the restaurants she reviews is now closed, and talks about the cost of a trip in 2008. I was surprised that the extensive section on renting a car and driving in England had no mention of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone), which is important to be aware of when planning transport. So while this book is great for getting ideas and inspiration, I would look for a more comprehensive travel guide or up-to-date information online as well.

This book gets four stars from me! Reading it feels like asking a friend who has been to England a lot to give you some advice before a trip and sitting back to soak in all their stories, tips and photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great travel book!

Verified Purchase
This book is full of very useful tips, from places to see, food and drinks to try, and ways to get good bargains. I would have loved to see a Table of Contents and Index to make it easier to refer back to the information I was looking for, but overall, very well done!

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book about England
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024
This book was a great read in that it made it feel like you were on a tour of England without actually leaving the comfort of your own home. The photographs are stunning and showcase the beauty of England extremely well. The author does a wonderful job listing detailed descriptions of some of the best places to visit when on a vacation in England, including places that are not well known but that offer a wonderful visit filled with opportunities to build a memorable trip. I love that she breaks each chapter into sections like means of transportation, places to visit, etc. so that the reader can enjoy the entire book or jump ahead to the sections that are most inciteful for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystical, enchanting travel book on England

England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England (The Hidden Gems Series) by Christy Nicholas

This travel book, and I hesitate to call it that, because it is so much more, will enrich any trip taken to England. Christy Nicholas gives you cliff notes on the history of this ancient land before delving into the many sites and wonders you may want to add to your trip. She gives great advice about how to think of and plan your trip, I love the idea of leaving time to get lost. By the time you have finished this book you may find yourself adding extra days to your trip to accommodate seeing more of this mystical land so steep in history. If you wanted to skip around in this book you certainly could, I recommend reading it cover to cover, as the history and myths of this place will only enhance your travels. At the end of the boom there is an extensive resources section, in case what you learned in these pages only wet your whistle and now you must learn more. In the past I have read ‘For Dummies’ travel books, I would call this one For Smarties, because you certainly after giving this a read. It is certain to fan the flame of your curiosity and desire to explore this land. Christy Nicholas’s love and awe of England comes shining through and is contagious. I definitely recommend this book before traveling to England and/or if you want to learn more of this enchanting isle.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful guide of England
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
England: Cultured, Classic, and Charming: A Guide to Hidden England, by Christy Nicholas, is a very interesting travel guide of England packed full of a vast amount of topics for anyone wanting to learn more and explore the land and culture. Not only does this book cover places to see, but also lots of bits of history, legends, people and more! If you have a desire to learn more about this fascinating land, or
plan to take a visit, you may find this book helpful for ideas on places to see. I've always wanted to visit England, and this book only made me want to go even more. This book is a quick, easy read but l felt there was a lot to learn from it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic look at England
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024
I wanted to like this book, but if you are looking for a travel guide to England, stick with the classics. What Ms. Nicholas does well is point out some of the things that make England charming. The first half of the book was an attempt at some historical and folklore of England, unfortunately, she tries to do too much and you really cannot get a understanding of the culture. It was as if she wanted to give you a bite sized nugget of as much as possible. The part about how to travel to England was redundant and so simplistic that unless you have never undertaken a trip (regardless of it being to another country) you will feel a bit patronized. The part of the book that I really enjoyed as the last third or so in which she points out places to visit. Many are not hidden at all, and the ones that are less known once again get lost because she gives so little information. It is a fun book, and quick read, just one that really will not help a great deal if one wishes to experience the culture and beauty of England. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
