Thanks, Pat! Glad you’ve been enjoying the books. As for Wiliam, his story is evolving along with the others in the main books for now.

Best,

–Diana

Have loved your novels more than the TV show as I really don’t think the TV Outlander expresses well the
deep sexual love that continues throughout the marriage of Jamie and Claire, the essence of the novels it seems
to me. Perhaps words do that better than pictures.

This may not be appropriate to say here, but I hope that when the Outlander series of novels comes to an end
that you continue with a series devoted to William and his lady love as I think his history is as interesting as his father’s and his love life could be, as you’ve already hinted in some of the episodes you’ve written for the next
Outlander novel.

Thank you for these novels, all of which I’ve read more than once and enjoyed even more the second time as
I tended to rush through the first reading.

Dear Sherry–

Eeg. Well, luckily I don’t write romance novels (and even more luckily, most _good_ modern romance novels have excellent sex scenes. I strongly recommend Joanna Bourne’s THE SPYMASTER’S LADY, for one).

Your excerpt shows how far we’ve come since the 1980s, when a romance novel I read in the 80s contained this forgettable/unforgettable line: “She touched the tip of his tumescence.” That was about as racy as it got, but that was then. This is so deliciously now.

Dear Diana,

I followed this link from the HNS website, which indicated that this was the way to volunteer my services as a reader of a sexy scene at the HNS conference in San Diego this year. I am an panelist on Saturday morning, and I think that would be a perfect way to end the day.

We actually met briefly in the author’s lounge at the Decatur Book Festival last fall, but I’m sure you say hello to many ardent fans every time you attend such an event, so I can’t imagine that I stood out; it was nonetheless a thrill for me!

My second novel, published by Harper Collins, was just released last week: Heart of Deception. I think I have JUST THE THING to read on Saturday night, and willing volunteer my services.

Hope to hear from you!

Wow! That’s some kind of opening. Nothing like a masturbation scene to get the blood pumping!

Diana, I’m thrilled to be attending the HNS conference this year for the first time…and to hear what you have to say about writing sex scenes in a historical novel. I’m starting the Outlander series for the first time on recommendation. If the series is anything like your reputation, I’m sure they’ll be a fabulous entertainment.

I look forward to meeting you. Write on!

You took the words right out of my mouth, Lauren! I do hope that they print the story this way, because I think that the beginning Diana has written is absolutely fantastic.
