Dear Eva–

I’m so sorry about the CD! Email me with your address, and we’ll send you another one. As to the movie, I _really_ doubt it. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of little fan-made videos on YouTube. (There are lots of links to them on this site; click on the “Video” tab from the home page and you’ll see “YT Channel,” which has a ton of them.)

I seen a trailer on utube about a timelife movie called The Scottish Prisoner with Gerard yummy Butler. Is there an actual movie i can view. I am in absolute love with Jamie and have been for many years I own all the books I even bought the hardcover first book again just to get the cd with the music on it and the wedding vows for Jamie and Claire… which, by the way never worked, because of the manufacturing the glue stuck to the cd and you weren’t able to play the cd. Oh well It looks fantastic on my bookcase display.

I think Ewan is a fine actor and not a bad singer too. But Jaimie he is definitely not! Goodness they’d have to animate all the other characters to put them in the proper proportion to him, he’s a little skinny guy!

Thanks for the laugh though!

Dear Mary–

I do know about the Culper spy ring and Lady 355. {g} Unfortunately, the timing didn’t work for the Lady to be Claire.

I have Enjoyed all of your books and like the history that is a part of
them.

Have you ever heard of the Culper Spy Ring?
they are the ones responsible for discovering Benedict Arnold’s treason.
They were stationed in New York and Long Island and sent messages back and forth to Washington.
There was an elaborate code book and each person had a code number. No one new more than 1 or 2 people except for the few who had the full code listing. I think 3- 4 copies. Number 355 is a woman but it is unknown who she is or if the code is for any “Lady”.

I can see Claire getting involved in this and not wanting anyone to write down who she is to not give it away to the future historians.

I am not a writer but this sound like could be a great story line.

didn’t know where else to put this info

Looking forward to the next book!

Darn–I forgot to say that I like Lord John tremendously and also like it that he is a romantic character. I think this has helped me understand some gay people in my own life of whom I am really fond.

I am an addict of your books, of course. Love the characters and the fact that they all grow older, just as I have been doing for 74 years. Love the descriptions of the scenery, details of life and culture of the 18th century. And, oh yes, the sex– realistic, amorous, of course, and often humorous, as good sex should be.
As Jamie and Claire mature, so do the books. As good as “Outlander” is, it seems more just a well- written historical novel. As the series grows, the characters seem more imbedded in their time. I care more about them than just as romanticly satisfying people. We see their strengths and vulnerabilities and the way Jamie and Claire are nearly perfect complements, but still have their misunderstandings. I wonder how Claire’s marriage to Lord John, or rather its consummation, will be solved, eventually. That should be fun.
Jem seems well on his way to becoming a second Jamie–lucky boy. And the paranormal events, while not blatant, seem to be a big part of his and Mandy’s future. Can you really stop with eight books??

Dear Lori–

No, SCOTTISH PRISONER is set in 1760, and is not the sequel to ECHO. You’ll hear about Jem in Book EIGHT, though , and it won’t be four years, I assure you; that’s the next book to be published after SP (I’ve been working on both; PRISONER is shorter, thus finished first).

It does not sound like poor Jem’s fate will be covered in the Scottish prisoner….surely we can not be left to wonder until book 10 comes out four years from now???

Dear Michele–

I didn’t make that remark–or any others “quoted” in the article. UK newspapers are just notorious for this; they interview you, but then blatantly make up “quotes” to decorate the article. And this is based (loosely) on an interview I did in _2010_!, to boot!
