Dear Friends,
I have enjoyed writing this blog for the past 13 years, every since my first book came out. Four more books and 1231 blog posts later, it’s time for me to take a break. I have a big project that I am working on, and I want to devote my time and thinking to it. I also have some summer travel plans coming up.
I will have the occasional post here, when something strikes my fancy, so I won’t disappear entirely. For instance, I want to invite you all to the Paradise Chocolate Fest. I will be in the All About Books section, together with friends from ANCHR and all our many books. Admission to the entire fun (and chocolate) – filled festival is only $5. Music, games, artisans, food, and so much chocolate. I hope I’ll see you there. Stop by our table and say “Hi!”
When my project gets closer to finalization, I’ll let you in on it. But for now I am saying “Adios.”
Keep on riding down the History Trail!
Best regards and wishes — Nancy

Thank you Nancy, Too few are pulling the past into the present so we may marvel at the ingenuity and integrity that has set the stage for our season of service. Enjoy your well earned repose. May fresh insights flood your imagination.
I found your posts after looking for books on Panama on archive.org, and was frustrated at the book listing “Six years experience as a book agent in California, including my trip from New York to San Francisco via Nicaragua by Mrs. James w. Likins… Nowhere was her name listed. But with some searching I found your post naming her; Amy. Thank you, very much, for humanizing Amy Likins for all future readers.
I hope you have a lovely break! Thank you for your work.
