I was one of the fortunate people who got to listen to and see you at the highland games earlier this month. I brought my family with me and did make them endure the long wait for book signing , but seeing as they knew what a die hard fan i am of yours ,they did not complain. (although I think my husband spent more money than he thought,keeping the kids entertained I did get my 20th anniversary book signed, but did not ask for anything in particular to be written. I am embarassed to ask , but my curiosity is getting the better of me. Did you write a ” saying ” as a general comment in most books , is it Gaelic? I cant quite make it out. ( I know you signed a lot of books that day, and very generously) I hope you are not offended but I can’t read your writing other than my name and yours. My son kept saying to me what does it say , and what does it mean?
any thoughts,
thanks again, it was a real thrill meeting you.

The first time that I went to the Fergus Scottish Festival was after I finished reading Outlander (3 years ago). My friend introduced me to the series and mentioned that you would be there. It was so entertaining and enjoyable. The same friend also said that you only come around every three years, so it was a great suprise that you were there again after only 2 years. Is there a possibility that this would be a annual event? I look forward to the Fergus Scottish Festival every year (I find as soon as I am driving home) and find that it is way better when I can look forward to hearing your stories.

I am looking forward to The Scottish Prisoner in November. Jamie and John are my two favorite characters.

thank you so much for your explanation! I love all Diana’s fan, and your solidarity with newly arrived.
I’ll try your proposal, later today, once I’m back home.

Kind regards, Angela

You picked a beastly hot time of year to visit Scottsdale! {g} I actually will be in New Mexico this weekend, at the Bubonicon sf/f convention in Albuquerque. I hope you and your mother enjoy your visit! (I will probably be doing a _short_ tour in Canada when SCOTTISH pRISONER is released at the end of November, but I don’t yet know where they propose to send me. Perhaps I’ll have the good luck to meet you then!).

I am in Scottsdale visiting from a small town in Canada. I am a big fan of yours, but my mother is one of your biggest. When she heard we were coming to Scottsdale, she wanted me to see if you would be making any appearances. Will you be doing any signings this week? My mother would be so thrilled to have a book signed by you. After reading the series for the second time, she predicted another book and I have just read that there is one on the way…. happy to hear it.

Thanks for all the wonderful hours of reading!!
Sincerely,
Karen

No, wasn’t me, sorry. {g} I was in Scotland most of last month, and have never even heard of War Horse–glad to hear it was good!

–Diana

If it was not you, oh well, still go see War Horse.

Sincerely,
One of the millions who think of you as a friend,
Fran
