I feel that Jamie’s is partly who is because of John! They have helped each other in dire straights and have trusted each other wholly. Jamie has only had a few people in his life to trust. Clansmen out of the question! Uncles in it for their own reasons! Big Ian… he’s dead now but John has never asked Jamie for anything ever with the exception of help of John’s own father. That meant so much to John but something he could not trust to just anybody. Jamie did so for him. They have a huge friendship based on silence. And you do not get that with everyone. I feel in order for me to love Jamie unconditionally I have to love John unconditionally too. LJG was introduced right after Randall and I think it just set things off on the left foot for John and many READERS but I think you have established, just because a man has tastes for a man doesn’t mean they are not the same.

Wow… I guess I had a lot to say and didn't know it!

I moved 6 hours away from my husband to go to school this year, and decided to get your books as audiobooks to listen to on my long, *boring* drive and they have been a lifesaver! Although I tend to keep listening when I get home, which doesn't help the homework situation…..worth it though! So thank you for your wonderfully looong books!

I love the Outlander series! My Mum and I are rereading all of the books to relive how it all started. Jamie, such a man!, and Claire's relationship aside, the writing is brilliant and so intelligent and thoughtful. Reading the books makes me so curious about that time in history and I want to see everything that I have imagined when reading.

It goes without saying that I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series!! Really.

Thank you for providing such a rich and yummy story and full bodied characters to become slightly obessed with.

Well done, you!

Resa :)

I'm delighted that you like the books! [smile]

WARRIORS is an anthology–I just have a novella in it–but I hope you'll enjoy "The Custom of the Army," which is the title of said novella.

Odds are very good that it's not even a good accent but I can't seem to stop reading everyday things in my own imagined LJ accent. lol has absolutely nothing to do with anything but just thought I'd add it in. =)

It was lovely to get the chance to "look at you" in Sheffield and hear you speak about your transformation from bird dissector to novelist (g!). Thank you so much for your recommendation of Mike Carey's "Felix Castor" novels, I'm now enthralled and terrified in equal measure! Like the majority of your fans, I love all the books you've written, although I have my favourites, and will continue to devour everything you send our way but it's great to have something witty, dark and clever to keep me going in the meantime! I'm in the middle of a root canal treatment myself, courtesy of our good old NHS, so can sympathise with the pain you were suffering, hope it's all OK now.

I promise to keep an open mind about it, after all, you are one of a handful of authors to whom I assign the ability of make washing machine instructions sound interesting.

Back to Outlander though… I have always been interested in music and loved your nod to Hildegard von Bingen, even though you have said that it was unintended. If you are still looking for things to put into the next book… how about some American music history. Being from across the pond, I know very little about it but I am sure there are some interesting stories you could dig up for us :)

Well, I'll post a few excerpts from the crime novel over time, so you'll be able to sample the style and character and see if you like it. [g]
