I’m very sorry to hear that! (Though I’m afraid what you’d get for used copies of my books wouldn’t make much of a dent in your rent.)

She goes into a bit more detail on her website here: Thar She Blows . . . . ! with an even more detailed explanation posted on April 18th on her Facebook page . She also wrote about the “finishing process” for The Scottish Prisoner in a blog posting entitled: In Case You Thought All A Writer Does is Write . . . […]

No doubt and hands down. Don’t get me wrong, I love Gerard Butler and he’s Scottish so that would be perfect, but he doesn’t fit the countless descriptions of Jamie in the books. He is tall with a blade of a nose, high cheekbones, Nordic features…well, you’ve read the books! I just don’t think Gerard Butler could pull that all off and still play the part of the 24 yr old Jamie we first meet. At the end of the day, I just can’t wait for the books to come to the screen!

Chris Helmsworth it is! 100% young Jamie! I wonder if he can master the Scottish accent? I love this series. Diana, THANK YOU for such an amazing read!!!!

When does the real Diana get to come up for air? Do you find it difficult to re-orient yourself when the writing and its process is done? Not to say that end result is appreciated more than you can know. I feel a little like the characters in “The Little Red Hen” who don’t do any of the work but eagerly await the finished bread to devour. Outlander and its sequels have become my favorite that I encourage all my friends to read. I love you for all that you do.

If we could only be so lucky….

I feel your pain. The writing, not the knee. :) Good luck with it. Hope it heals well. My hubby is 38 today and possibly looking at a hip replacement. BTW, can’t wait for book 8!
