My college daughter discovered The Outlander series and asked for the entire series for Christmas (2010). I decided to pick up the first one and read it. My family is now fed up with me because I can’t put them down! The coincidences are just too amazing. I immediately fell in love with the characters of Claire and Jamie. The fact that the story takes place in Scotland was simply icing on the cake. I’ve been several times since 1987 and feel a special kinship with the country. Then, I had the sheer joy of discovering that the series moves to Charleston, SC, then to Wilmington and New Bern, NC and then to the NC mountains! This morning, I discovered in a 2008 blog that you place Fraser’s Ridge within 10 miles of Blowing Rock, NC…one of my favorite places on earth. I recently booked a weekend at Gideon’s Ridge B and B in Blowing Rock as a Valentine’s surprise for my husband. (Diana, if you haven’t stayed at Gideon’s Ridge, you have to go!) And now to discover that you love corgis! My nine year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi is named Tucker. There are more coincidences to my story, but I’m sure you’ve heard enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you for these amazing books. I hope you’ll be in North Carolina again soon and that I’ll have the opportunity to meet you and thank you in person for your work!

I remembered this post because I too am a Corgi-holic, and owning one is on my Bucket List…

I found this Corgi-related humor tonight, and figured you might get a kick out of it:

Turns out he’s border collie and corgi mix. I’ve been in love with the breed ever since. He’s absolutely the most adorable little thing you’ll ever meet. Sweetest disposition in the whole world. He even tolerates his two yappy “sisters”, a teacup Yorkie and a maltese-shi’tzu mix, who constantly bite his ears.

I say my dog because my husband loves him only when Dash sneezes on command, or when he gets so excited he sneezes and we of course say we trained him to do it (g)… And by the way I’ve read the series another time and am now on the last few pages of Echo in the Bone and just had to get on line again to see when the Scottish Prisoner was coming out so I don’t go into fits of hysteria again like last time (G) Thank you for the new web site!!

Love and bookmarked the new website!

Yes, Charlie’s a Pembroke; so is Badger, Laura’s tri-color corgi. They’re very sweet dogs.

He’s adorable! My parents raised Cardigan Welsh Corgis in the 1970s (longer body, tail, more variety in color – brindle, black, red (like Charlie), tri, blue merle (my personal favorite)). Thanks for sharing!
