Great Pumpkins at the Ritz

By Nancy Jill Thames

Several years ago I stayed with my husband at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay. As we arrived, pumpkins weighing over six hundred pounds a piece adorned the portico. Truly an amazing site.

Half Moon Bay is noted for it's fall pumpkin festival. People travel from all over the state of California not only to view pumpkins, but to view the beautiful ocean and enjoy sumptuous seafood cuisine.

Both "Murder in Half Moon Bay" and "The Mark of Eden" were set in Half Moon Bay. Book 1 revolves around the Ritz-Carlton, while Book 4 finds back-streets of the town and a cruise to Catalina Island in which to unfold.

Someone said my books often sound like travel logs, and rightly so. I've traveled as an air force brat and as the wife of a business man. My stories incorporate what I've experienced both in locals and cuisine. If you enjoy the finer things in life, you may enjoy the books I write. If not, there are many other genres to choose from.

I invite you to download "Murder in Half Moon Bay" as a free gift from me.

There's more than pumpkins in the adventures ahead.

See you in my books!

Something New is in the Air

By Nancy Jill Thames

Umm...can you feel it in the air? Fall. My favorite time of year when the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer, I drink more cups of tea and sit by the cozy fire everyday when the temperature outside allows, and I feel all warm and snug inside my lovely house.

Until...things change and it may be time to take up residency with my mom who's almost 89 years old and lonely. What? Leave my Chippendale dining room and Queen Anne bedroom set? And what about my grand piano?

Things change. People become more important in life than material possessions. My mom's sunset years should be happy ones.

The good thing about transitioning into a new area of the country is life continues to be an adventure. As a positive person I can find good things about where ever I live. As a Christian I believe God has a wonderful plan for my life if I'll listen to His Spirit speak to my heart, telling me which way to go and then follow His leading.

When I think of my situation I'm reminded that my character Jillian Bradley needs a new adventure in her life for Book 9. Who knows? Perhaps I'll find one along my own journey. Have you had to relocate recently? How did you react to your new situation?

Enjoy a wonderful week full of adventure, my friends. If you haven't read about Jillian's first adventure in Half Moon Bay you are welcome to read Book 1 "Murder in Half Moon Bay" for free on all ereader platforms.

See you in my books!

Enjoy the Weekend - Read a Free Book!

How many of you carry workloads through the weekend? Been there - done that. But here's what I've found: BURNOUT! For me, anyway, when I take off and have a little fun on Saturday the work stress leaves me alone. Bye-bye! And when I worship on Sundays, my spirit is renewed for the week.

I hope you'll take some time this weekend to enjoy the fruit of your labor. And if you're a believer, take time to worship.

By the way - you can have some fun for free by simply downloading Book 1 MURDER IN HALF MOON BAY. See you on Monday!
