Hi Diana,

Your picture of the flying shark was the first one I had seen. I don’t know if you read a news report about one in New Zealand which startled a pilot. i don’t think he had seen one before either. Here is an extract

A ROGUE shark has been spotted by a New Zealand pilot flying into Christchurch International Airport – cruising at an altitude of several thousand feet above the ground.
A passenger jet was descending and was about 9km from the airport on Boxing Day when the pilot radioed ground control about his unlikely sighting, stuff.co.nz reports.

It was identified as a remote-controlled, helium-filled shark – which has proved a popular Christmas gift this season.

Designed for indoor use, the $NZ99 ($75) 1.44-metre-long Air Swimmer can be operated by remote control over a range of 15m.

Airways spokeswoman Monica Davis said the pilot had reported the shark on December 26 but its altitude and how close it came to the aircraft were unclear.

HA! We got an “Air Shark” too! It has been a LOT of fun chasing the dogs and cat with and we have some hilarious “Jaws” moments from out New Year’s Eve party. Love, love, love your books. You are a very talented writer, the craft of your story telling is wonderful and I always love a strong woman. The best compliment I have been paid lately is when a friend called me “Claire” after I taped up a singers knee during an opera performance.

Hi Diana,
Are there any plans for an Outlander movie? Since I read the book I have run different actors through my mind but nobody worked as Jamie – until now! Scott Speedman, Canadian born of Scottish parents. Just caught him in a movie on late night television and thought, oh boy, there he is!

Your Arizona neighbor,

Kat Meeks

I have to take exception to your comment regarding “mindless” questions. If a person does not or cannot remember the answer to something, the only way to find out is to ask. If Diana does not mind (and I don’t think she does) answering any question, I don’t see why you should. I have read and reread the Outlander Series since the first book was published and I still can think of things that are not entirely clear to me and I do read everything that Diana posts!

Diana, please keep answering all the questions (even if they are repeats). I read this blog faithfully and all the comments are interesting to me. Thank you.

That would be great! Mine turned out to be more of a soupy enchilada casserole but tasted wonderful. Was quite warm to the tongue, but not too hot. I used El Pato also, had never used that before…very good. My family was impressed. Thanks for your recipes.

Dear Sharon–

Love devoted fans! {g} I dunno–you may end up liking Lord John better than you think. Glad you have something to read for the next little while, at least.

Dear Christina–

Enchiladas just _are_ messy. {g} But I have a new Flip-it video thingy; once I have it figured out, I’ll see if I can do a podcast about making enchiladas.

Feliz Navidad y Ano Nuevo!
