Season 1 of “Blood of My Blood”
It’s a Wrap! Filming for Season 1 of the Prequel tv series, “Blood of My Blood”, was finished on July 20—and it’s wonderful. I really, really like this show, and I hope you all will, too!
“BOB” for short, this new tv series will explore both Jamie’s and Claire’s parents who, of course, lived in different time periods. No doubt the new Sony/Starz tv series and the book I am writing about Jamie’s parents will have a few things in common. <g>

Latest Excerpts – Book Ten:
If you have finished reading BEES, you may enjoy these excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from Book Ten in my Outlander series of novels, which I am working on now.
Note that these bits of Book Ten MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. Excerpts are listed by temporary descriptive titles, with the newest one listed first:
Focus and Endings, Part 1. Using two NEW excerpts from Book Ten, I will explore focus and endings in writing. Also added to my Writer’s Corner (What I Do) webpage. Released on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
Focus and Endings, Part 2: In the second part of ‘Focus and Endings’, I delve into focus in writing, using the excerpts from Book Ten included in Part 1, above. How do you convey point of view (POV) in writing, and keep the reader’s attention? What exactly is POV, anyway? Also added to my Writer’s Corner (What I Do) webpage. From July 20, 2024.
William As Family. My post from the Litforum about who William considers to be his real family. Released on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
“You little bastard!” Released on Saturday, June 1, 2024, World Outlander Day.
Happy Mother’s Day! To mothers of all ages and stages of relationship, you are the cement that holds your families together, and the blossoms that make them fragrant and beautiful. (Plus a conversation between Bree and Fannie.) Released on Sunday, May 12, 2024.
“Did He Speak?” Whew…just back from a working cruise down the Danube (and getting up in the middle of each night on the river in order to write a script for the Prequel, needed in two weeks. Luckily, I made it. <g>). So—just in time for a brief excerpt in honor of Jamie’s birthday tomorrow (and a quick “Happy Birthday!” to Sam Heughan, whose birthday is/was today). (Also my current blog entry, shown at right on this homepage.) Posted on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Book Ten (which doesn’t yet have a title) will be the tenth in my Outlander series of major novels which focus on Jamie and Claire. Note that a publication date has not been announced since I am still writing the book…

Shapes and Themes of My Outlander Novels
Want to know more about my books? How I write them? Here are a few of my blogs and webpages to explore:
“The Shape of Things:” All my books have an internal geometric or natural shape that emerges in the course of the work, and once I’ve seen it, the writing goes much faster. (BEES is a snake!) Read more…
“One Word Speaks Volumes (Themes of the Novels):” Some intelligent NPR interviewer asked me one day whether I could sum up the book we were talking about in a single sentence—and I realized that in fact, I could summarize the theme of each book in a single word. Read more…
