I figured it must be selling well since it was included in a small grouping of hardbacks. I was not a fan of the GN concept for your books, but after seeing the exerpt I will be buying it in Sept.

Well, no, I kind of think I (and most readers) will be very pleased. After all, I have _seen_ the book. [g] And I did write it, too.

I regard the graphic novel in the same light as the audiobooks; it's something that doesn't detract from the original, but provides an extra dimension to it. (I know a number of people initially think they won't like the audiobooks, but then try one and DO. Very, very few people try them and decide they _don't_ like them.)

Now, granted, NO book is going to appeal to all people universally. Mine certainly don't. [g] Ergo, there will surely be folk who don't like the graphic novel, either, for whatever reason. But I'm pretty sure it isn't going to ruin either my reputation or the enjoyment people get from the books.

Unfair of me. Perhaps I should have said that there might be limits on where things should be taken – something like the Peter principle. I still read the daily comics – not just Doonesbury but Judge Parker (gave up on Mary Worth though) and still love Prince Valiant but. My impression is that your graphics version reduces your great work to the level of the soap opera comics strips. The art may be terrific (as with both of the above strips until recent stylistic changes) but the complexity of your story lines and the underlying prose of your novels seems lost. I posit that you will not be pleased with the results after the initial flurry of attention.

I like it smaller than this because it is easier to carry around. This paperback is just the paperback version of the hardcover with the extra.

Oh, no! You're not annoying at all. And _everybody_ asks that. [g]

But I mean, really–if I _had_ news, why would I not share it?

[g] ***

Ouch! I hope I didnt sound too annoying.
I didnt want to imply anything. It might be just frustration over not having movies made on some of my favorites books…LOL.
Sorry for that Diana!
I'll keep waiting, haha.
What else can i do in this matter?
I know a lot of fans that are looking forward to Outlander movie, or a TV series, and they are doing just the same, waiting.

Sorry, I'm posting under anonymous. I am tired of having an account and a password for every single thing that i like to do on internet.
Also apologies for my English, this will be my lifelong work, mastering a proper second language.
Marcela

I am dying to read the excerpt of The Exile. I am a lover of design, comics and Outlander, obviously… So I'm really anxious!
