Many would be very grateful for you to gather the herbal/medicinal information throughout the book in one place, as an Outlander Herbal or some such, including what it was administered for. Is this something you consider?

Also, the unabridged audio recordings with Davina Porter saved my life during 13 months (so far) of isolation during the pandemic. I have listened to all of your audio recordings more than twice. I am strongly hoping that the next book is narrated by Davina Porter as she is the “sound” of the novels so far.

Warm regards,
Patricia Staples

My wife and I love the plots and twists. We even had a discussion on “what if Clair staying with Jamie inadvertently led to the defeat at Culloden? If by choosing Frank, Jamie flees to France and becomes a wealthy wine merchant, then with his wealth he has more influence over the battlefield and sway with the prince. Jamie gains more support from Spain in the form of soldiers, and leads the Scott’s to victory, becoming the “hero of Culloden”. Meanwhile Clair steps into a very different England under Scottish rule, and WWII having never happened?
Thanks for the brain food, and the world you’ve created, we love it!
Doug.

I never liked Scotland but now have an urge to revisit! Your characters are wonderfully portrayed and the storyline is brilliant. I’ve now finished the first four books and have seen series one of the TV adaptation. Thank you so much for sharing your imagination with us!

Or a list of places traveled? I am in the process of re-reading each of the books but I want to read them in order and most of the jumps take place a couple books away. I would really like to create a map of the travels.

When the last book came out I spent many lunchtimes wandering around Olde City, Philadelphia trying to figure out the old lay of the land. I found some interesting monuments in places that could only be the book settings.
Sounds kind of geeky but was great fun.

Now that you have seen the TV series, what are your thoughts? Your point is very true about the quantity of detail. I think they have done a terrific job paring it down to fit TV.

Funny to find your post 3.5 years later.

I needed to know how close they came to or deviating from the book. Now I can’t (really) wait for the next season so I am committed to the books. Opting for unabridged audio version. Absolutely fabulous job by the narrator. Only a few chapters into Dragonfly in Amber…I was greatly relieved to read your summary and the assurance not to worry…It’ll be fine. I am feeling stressed and anxious to see them reunited. Wonderful characters and amazing story…hope you never tire of your fans appreciation! Well done!

I just wanted to let you know that it takes the most amazing mind to help so many avid readers lose themselves in what may be the most sincerely best loss of time we have ever been through!!! The ladies and myself at work along with friends cannot stop thinking about Claire and Jamie. Then the series came to stars, hot and bothered, mix some sweet n sassy lassie!?!?! Hello!!! Thank you and everybody involved for giving many die hard readers something to look forward to when we flip the page or channel!! Much appreciation for giving me back my love of a great book!

Best,
