Everything online is old after ten years! I don’t think the hardcover edition of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER is available any more. However, the paperback and digital audiobook are (see below) in the U.S.A. (and likely other countries too).

If you want a new book signed by Diana, you can always go to the Poisoned Pen’s online store and search for any title at:

http://store.poisonedpen.com

I am assuming you want a copy of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER or the 20th Anniversary Edition of OUTLANDER, since that is what the blog above mentions?

The Poisoned Pen still has new copies of the paperback edition of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER for purchase at $18 plus mailing cost. The ones in stock today are not signed. If you’d like to get one signed by Diana, send the Pen an email at sales@poisonedpen.com and tell them you’d like to buy a copy of THE SCOTTISH PRISONER and you want Diana to sign it before sending it to you, if possible. There is no charge for her signature. It will likely take a few weeks or more to get it signed, depending on when Diana is able to go sign orders.

To order a new UNSIGNED copy directly ($18 plus shipping), go to:

https://store.poisonedpen.com/item/rZT5HAYCeafE7gAFv9NJQA

Call the Pen toll free at (888) 560-9919
 during business hours if you want to talk to a human.

THE SCOTTISH PRISONER is still available as a digital audiobook from Audible, if you use that service, at:

https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Scottish-Prisoner-Audiobook/B00687N33A

Even Barnes & Noble sells both the digital audiobook and the paperback:

No doubt itunes still has it too.

As to buying it on CD, you’d have to check around.

If you were wanting a copy of the 20th anniversary edition of OUTLANDER, those look to be out of stock. Ask the Pen about it if you email them.

Send me an email if you have other questions.

Good luck!

If no other method works, is it still possible to produce it as an “audiobook”?

No, alas. I’m afraid our Gaelic sources encountered technical problems in trying to produce adequate sound files, and we haven’t yet managed. I have hopes that we may eventually get Gaelic sound files for _all_ the bits in _all_ the books, but for now, the best I can do is refer you to this: http://tinyurl.com/SpeakOutlander

Tapadh leat,

Writing the pronunciation guide to go _with_ the sound files proved to be a much bigger challenge than my Gaelic translator thought to begin with–she apologizes for the delay. We _will_ get it up as soon as it’s done, though.

No, I didn’t make it up. I’ll have to find my collection of antique cookbooks, though, to look up the salt-rising bread. (It’s out in the garage at the moment…)

I have recently come across your books through a blog called The Outlander Kitchen. The blog owner makes recipes from foods mentioned in your books. One of the recipes she made was Salt Rising Bread, because you wrote about some of your characters who ate “rising salt-bread.” I am a huge enthusiast of Salt Rising Bread and wondered if you could tell me if this is a bread you made up for the book or do you actually know that this “rising salt bread” was once eaten in Scotland? I would be most interested to know if you know anything more about the history of this bread

Thank you so very much!
