Right back where I started from

August 22, 2022 by Nathan Bransford 6 Comments

Some personal news… I’m moving back to California this week!

After a decade in the Big Apple, California here I come, right back where I started from. I’ll be living in sunny Pasadena near one of my favorite places, the Huntington Library.

I’m excited to catch up with my friends and publishing acquaintances in the Los Angeles area, gain a greater connection to and understanding of the film/TV business, enjoy a bit more quiet and sunshine, and pare back on those six hour flights across the country to see my family. I’ll miss NYC dearly, but I plan to be back often.

Blogging will be sporadic this week as I, you know, move across the country, but I’ll be back on Monday.

Need help with your book? I’m available for manuscript edits, query critiques, and coaching!

For my best advice, check out my online classes (NEW!), my guide to writing a novel and my guide to publishing a book.

    Huntington Hardens is one of the most beautiful and serene places on the planet! Check out their afternoon tea in the rose garden tea house. Used to go every month when I lived in Lala. Happy landings!

    Yay! So excited and happy for you. Hope your move goes as smoothly as cross-country moves can go. P.S. As someone who lives in Alaska, I’ve never quite understood the allure of NYC so yeah, this sounds like a brighter perspective plus, you know, the beach and mountains and so much awesome hiking. Take care, and have fun.

    I proposed to my wife at Huntington Library and you can see the very spot in some episodes of The Good Place.

    When I first started reading your blog posts back when you were still in San Francisco years ago, I was living in New York. Then I bought a house in New Hope, PA, only an hour from the city, and lived there for almost 20 years. And now, two years ago, I moved to Palm Springs, California and I’m loving it. I was a part-time resident for 5 years before I made the plunge. Best wishes on your move. Moving cross-country can be tricky.

    Congratulations on your move, Nathan. I’m sure every day you appreciate making the decision and returning to the Left Coast.
    I’ve lived in 7 states and the District of Columbia, and won’t ever leave our Central Coast home where we’ve lived for 11 years.
    Welcome home Nathan!
    Jack
