I haven’t read anybody who can describe feelings, smells, thoughts, places, activities, interactions (spoken or silent), scenes or any other aspects of life and love as clearly and as beautifully as you do!❤️]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Zulma,

In my OUTLANDER series of major novels, which focus on Jamie and Claire, there will be ten books. I just finished writing book nine, GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, and it is now in the editing and publication process. After BEES will be book ten, the last one of this series. All of the Outlander series of novels are translated into Spanish, though the release date for those occurs after the English version is released.

Check with your local bookstore for details. 

Gracias,
Diana]]></description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>eee! yay, a caltrop! </p>
<p>using your own analogy, i must say being a newcomer to the outlander series, that i have now devoured almost everything of yours i&#8217;ve been able to find. it&#8217;s interesting because it&#8217;s made the experience very much &#8220;onion-like&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>what i mean is, reading your books was amazing, but then finding your website and seeing how connected you are to your fans and how much you share with us added another layer&#8230;then reading the outlandish companion and your blog to know YOUR insights into your own writing, characters and stories adds yet another layer, etc.</p>
<p>i can see the shapes and appreciate them, being able to see the richness of the content in 3d.</p>
<p>can&#8217;t wait for both the graphic novel and echo, they will be amazing, i am sure, although i agree with the noter who said that it&#8217;s sometimes painful to read your books. you can&#8217;t stop, but you are afraid at what will happen next or one of the major characters will be killed&#8230;because then it will be over =(</p>
<p>have you ever been to reno, nevada? just curious&#8230;i can make it to some place in california to see you. there&#8217;s a great independent book store here called &#8220;sundance books&#8221;.</p>
