		<description><![CDATA[Diana, 

I not sure what I&#039; m going to do for the next year.  I hoping you surprise us and complete the book sooner; in the mean time please continue with the excerpts.   I also hoping against hope that somehow Jamie is able to travel with Claire to present time so they end up with Brianna and Jamie gets to see all that he has heard about.
I know this is your book; not mine; but as you see, I am a little obsessed with the series and spend a lot time thinking abut it.

		<description><![CDATA[I was going to write the self same thing, we must be on the same wavelength.  I can&#039;t believe all the cliff hangers on the last book, I feel like I&#039;m in the middle of things and everthing is in limbo until help comes - which it will in the new book - BUT A YEAR!
Glad everthing is on my Kindle and I can just go happily though them all again, that should last for at least a month, then back to paceing the floor.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Diana!! Love,love,love the Outlander series!!!! J&amp;C becomes almost alive right in front of me when I read about them I’ve read the series 3 times,but,as so many of you reading people out there,I have unanswerd questions 1) How did black Jack Randall end up dead on top of Jamie at Culloden? Did they just happend to meet during the fight or did Randall search for J at the battlefield? And who killed Randall? Was it J that killed him in the end,wanting to do that for so long? 2) Will William ever get to know that Jamie is his biological father ? 3) Claire,Brianna and Roger can travel back and forth in time assumingly because they put all theire thougts on someone they love in the time they want to travel to.What about Mandy,who’s so little when they go back to the 19th century that she probably can’t focus on anything?
love to hear from you

I&#039;ve posted these questions earlier but didn&#039;t get any respons,so I try again :) Is there anybody out there who can answer me? I&#039;m really curious!!  :) :)

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Deb--

  My pleasure.  {g} Fwiw, an author&#039;s signature increases the value of a book--though if the book is personalized, it&#039;s usually somewhat less valuable than the author&#039;s signature alone, _unless_ the person it&#039;s autographed to is also notable in some way.  For instance, if I signed a book for Pope Benedict XVI, that would likely be more valuable than if it had just my signature. {g}  Still, bibliographic value is _all_ relative--a book is worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and no more.
