I am so enthrawled with the Outlander series that I did no think I would like the Lord John series ( his realtionship with Jamie frustrates me. It is so convoluted and complex.) I thoroughly enjoyed them. He is from a different “world” but it intertwines with Jamie’s in a fascinating way. I am looking forward to the next and I like the Lord John opening – I think it sets up the intrigue and will eventually draw the two together.

BTW I cannot wait for “..My Heart’s Own Blood” – You almost killed me with the way “Echo ” left off.
If you ever have reason to come to Las Vegas, You have many fans!!

Thank you for your amazing imagination and dedication to your art! I will read anything you write.

If John’s intro comes up and you feel disappointed, you’ ll know you really want to start with the Helwater barn scene.

I always wanted to know more about the Helwater time and am really looking forward to both character’s views and stories. Beginning with the Jamie chapter could serve to explain to readers not only his history, but, possibly also what he is doing there and WHO put him there, thus introducing John’s role and secret passion from a different perspective (still about John, creates more interest in john’s motives, more suspense, ie. What could be behind him sending Jamie there? Wow, what an interesting multi-faceted character, what is he up to? Etc)

Hope you are not in indecision too long – very keen for the continuation of both wonderful series! Love your work!

It seems a better opener to have it start with a good bit of intrigue than a shaky, sad, lonely scene with Jamie.
