I have read the Scottish Prisoner so many times, and BOTB and HS because I must know how that scene in
Echo will end!!!
OMG, how is john feeling right now, being held like that by the man he has always wanted but never dared touch? I know he is calm about dying, and is expecting death, but his Jamie is so close to him that all he can see are his eyes (bezerk)
Diana, you are killing me with suspense!
Poor john, he sees Jamie alive, is so happy about it, but all he dares to do is breifly touch Jamie’s arm, while claire runs to him and receives a hug &kiss…

I carnt wait for your next installment, DG so I spose the excerpts will have to tide me over. Keep them coming!
Just a quick question for MS Gabaldon. Will your 8th installment of the Frasers, friends and family be available in audio? If not, I don't know how I will read it as I carn't read print.
Keep up the wonderful work, and we all carnt wait to see what happens!

I feel as I said, Claire was under the influence, considering ending it all for hours – and not sure she should (thank God!) How Romeo and Juliet would that have been, for Jamie to have come back to find his Claire dead???!! Anyway, they were making love to Jamie – but Diana will not let this smooth over simply…. She loves to kill us with anticipation! AND Claire loves to say much less than the situation warrants and Jamie more! Claire NEVER tells Jamie I love you very much and regardless of her personality, her reserve – I think SOMETIME (Please Diana!) she needs to break out of her shell for 5 minutes and GUSH to him! Anyway,I think Jamie will get through it – whether he and Lord John will be able to spend much time in near proximity again is another thing… We'll definitely see how "progressive" Jamie is in the next book. As I've said before tho..Diana has given us this wonderful gift of 2 people who are not whole apart, who are totally part of each other – one flesh they really exist for each other and are much better people because of the other…I know she will not let us down. I am trusting in her 100% to give us a glorious reunion and many great conversations and just a great life for these two. Diana has managed to spin a dream that we all hope for and won't let us down now.

I think not before he runs Lord John through the ringer. I think somehow Jamie needs to be made to realize how at the end of her rope she was having lost the other part of her…. she was after all heavily drugged (she did take some laundenum, which she never did, and was contemplating using a blade on her wrist… very unClaire-like, yet without Jamie, what was her reason for being – she was barely drifting throug life.

I'm so happy! thank you so much Diana! My life (and marriage:)) are so much better with Jamie and Claire in it. I'm a younger generation reader, and I can only hope that I can be privileged with 17+ years of loving the series and being tortured for the next book like so many others. My Jamie and Claire obsession runs bone deep and I hope he shows her just who her daddy really is! I love it! I love you, and I can wait as long as it takes!

Ps… not too long though!

It's interesting to have the tables turned on Jamie. After all, he married the dreaded Leghair, I mean Loaghaire, when he thought Claire was gone forever. It will be fun to see this play out.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Decatur book festival today.

Particularly admire the way all the characters keep evolving, especially young Ian. Would like to see you soften up Brianna and make her less self absorbed – even if just for Roger's sake as he always seems to get it in the neck. All my extended family and friends have now read the series and likewise cannot wait for book 8. Happy writing Diana, take your time, it's worth the wait……
