Lauren: your mother may be eligible to receive books from the Library of Congress National Library Service. If you live in the United States, each state has a branch of this library. I’m blind and I use it, along with mainstream audio sources, for my book wants.

Since I heard you mention Phil Rickman in the interview during the L.A. Outlander fan event, I’ve been through 5 of his non-Merrily Watkins books and I have two more to go.

Then I plan on hitting the Merrily Watkins ones, which are hopefully at the library. (I searched out used paperbacks for the other 7..)

Thanks so much for introducing me to this author! His stuff is delightfully creepy, and I agree that his characters are quite compelling!

Was enthusiastic when reading how you couched the recommendation. Arranged to take the day off work when I was sure of the pub date of your last heavyweight, and will do the same with the new one, then go back and work my way back up through teh ranks.

I figure I qualify as a sustaining member of the dg fan club, since I have to buy replacements for whichever I passed along as a starter in the interim. I’ve even developed decided preferences for PB formats.

Dear Becca–

Yes, there is–but it’s slightly complex, in that when a story is published in an anthology, there’s an “exclusivity period” during which it can’t be reprinted elsewhere. So we have to wait for those periods (of varying lengths) to expire for the different stories, because we can contemplate e-publishing them.

Apologies if this has already been asked:

Is there any chance that your short stories will be published separately as e-books? Perhaps for $.99 or $1.99 as Kindle Editions? Or maybe pull all Outlander-related short stories together as an e-book for the price of a normal book?

I would love to read them, but am unlikely to purchase all these separate collections. Or really, any of them. But I would certainly buy a collection of YOUR short stories.

Thanks!

Diana, thanks for putting me on to this series. I’ve now read the first two and I’m going to be hard pressed not to race out an buy the next one straight away. I really should let them digest and settle and savour them slowly. I love the characters, even the minor ones are fleshed out and real. And they’re all ever so slightly odd.

Marvellous. Thanks so much
cheers
Jill

Wow! This sounds like such a good series! Thanks so much for the review and for bringing this author to my attention. I’m heading over to Amazon right now to pick up the first book in the series I’m a somewhat lapsed Catholic/a new Christian and I really love books where they show flawed characters. Where you said “the ongoing conversation throughout the series between religion and secular society, the subtle questions about the nature (and power) of belief” really piqued my interest, too!!

Dear Diana,
About a year ago, I started reading your fantastic books and I’m currently reading An Echo in Bone.
I just want to tell you that I wish you would come to Sweden some time, we would love to see you here.
Best wishes,
Arina E.

I became aware of Phil Rickman’s books and Merrily et al. a few weeks ago, and since then have read everything he has written that is available to me. I am very eagerly waiting for the next one, meanwhile I can go back to Jaimie and Claire.

Thanks to you both for being such fantastic and prolific authors, – keep ‘em comin!!!!!

Fans of Georgette Heyer often like series written by Patricia Veryan. One series is set in regency England, 10+ books. However, IMHO her Georgian Golden Chronicles series is better. Set in 1740-1750′s England the books detail the Scottish Rebellion, and mysteries, plots, and Jacobite supporters from the British perspective. Lovers of the series reread her novels almost as much as Gabaldon fans reread hers (that is to say, over and over and over). Many Veryan fan club members also love the Outlander books. It was there that I first learned about Diana’s books and became a rabid fan. For many readers this could be a delicious snack while waiting for MOBY, the next full meal.
