Dear Diana,

I went back to this original post as I’m guessing it is best to keep things are organized as possible. I just wanted to say it has been a real treat to see the Bartram information blossom;> I’m so glad that worked out for you. I am, as always, eagerly looking forward to the next book. I also have my fingers crossed for the mini-series. I just watched the BBC mini-series: Call the Midwife, created by Heidi Thomas. I recommend the series on its own entertainment merits, but in addition the lead actress, Jessica Raines is excellent, has the right look (almost as close as you can get in real life to the portrait of Claire by Hoang Nguyen), is about the right age (b. 1982), is British, and of course is a working actress with the perk of already having time-period (almost) appropriate work (plays a nurse in 1950s England) to her credit. Here is her imdb profile for easy reference: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3565962/Some day I hope that fate and timing work together that I can actually attend one of your public appearances. The Army conspires to always have a mandatory event that places me as far away as possible whenever there would seemingly be a time in my schedule or a location that is not all the way across the country. I hope this post doesn’t get fully buried in my effort to keep continuity by posting this near the original. Best wishes to you and yours.

Cheers,
Vanessa R. Kovach Bowman

Pleeeaaaseee DON’T let this be the last book. I couldn’t bear it! I know that is very dramatic…but I so love Jamie and Claire et all. They are like family. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.

Ok- I’ve got to start my apology by saying-in my own defense like- I had just returned from a flight (I’m a flight nurse) and it was 4:30 in the morning with NO sleep at all… And I realize now, after a full night’s sleep and my hubby’s loving (laughing out loud and poking me in the side repeatedly) encouragement that this year IS 2012 and the book is supposed to come out NEXT year… I am an such an idiot- although, I AM still interested in knowing if it will be Davina Porter reading the book?
Sorry, I shouldn’t be allowed Internet access after not sleeping!

I think that Davina Porter really brings this amazing masterpiece to life-and certainly because you don’t ever have to stop listening- the story can go with you anywhere and while doing almost anything – it is my preferred method of enjoyment. The Diana/Davina team is my absolute favorite. I am so excited to know what happens to everyone (these characters seem so real, I think about them and where we left off in Echo frequently) but I can’t read the excerpts because I would feel like I cheated, and I know that I can wait for the whole book to be ready…but it’s November of 2013 now…and I haven’t heard or seen anything yet…I was really hoping to get MOBY as a Chanukah gift this year. I think that usually the Audible version comes out at the same time as the hard copy, and I can’t imagine that the Diana/Davina combo will be broken, right?

Your books are tooooo entertaining and engaging to rush through the 8th book. You response was appreciated and appropriate.

As an English tutor and student, your writing is very clear and concise. Ergo, awesome.

I patiently await your next book.

Thank you.

Dear Ms. Gabaldon,
I just wanted to say thank you so much! I love your stories; your descriptions make me feel like I am there. I work in the medical field and love your descriptions of the medicines Claire used and the medical equipment that was available at the time. I bought your whole series all at once, and read them all in a year’s time, along with the many other author’s that I am faithful to. My husband got very annoyed with me because all I wanted to do, when I got home from my 40+ hour/week job, was to read your books. His mother, a Claflin, was of Scottish descent and really into her heritage so he should be pleased that I am learning about Scotland! His father was of Irish descent. I really would love to visit Scotland now that I have read your books, but don’t foresee it in the near future, (unless I win the lottery! Ha! Ha!) I have turned my 25 year old daughter, my sister, and my friends onto your books, and they love them, too! We can’t wait to see the movie! Hope you are pushing for a box office movie rather than a miniseries; I think a series of motion pictures would be much more profitable for you.
You seem like a very down-t0-earth person and so au fait with the history of not only Scotland and Europe, but with America also. I would be so pleased to meet you someday. If you are ever in the downeast Maine area, let me know. My husband’s a lobsterman; I’ll get some lobsters and we can dine and enjoy a tete-a-tete!
Take care.
Lynn
