After reading moby I decided it would have been better if I had re read whole series again before delving into moby… So I read 1-8 after I read #9, and then read moby for 2nd time since it came out!!! I love reading about time travel. Since discovering your books I have read every time travel novel and highlander novel I could get my hands on while wAiting for one of your books! It will be hard wAiting for 9, but the anticipation is so much fun! It’s also great to have something to look forward to! Jamie is an awesome character. I love reading about how they lived in 18th century and how Claire works as a healer way ahead of the time!!! Great job!

Yes, I did. You’ll likely spot them, if you’re looking. [g]

Best,

Thank you so much for your reply. It means the world to me and I know Karmin would have been thrilled too!

Blessings to you,

Jennifer

I just have a quick question, but I must thank you first! Thank you for giving me/us these stories! I, like everyone else, have fallen complete and hopelessly in love.
My question is, did you use Sam or Cait’s name in Moby? Someone said you did as a nod to them.
By the way the show is beautiful too!

Oh, I’m _so_ sorry to hear about your step-daughter. What a truly horrible thing to have happened! I’m glad(and very honored) that you can remember her with joy in your shared reading.

Best,
-Diana

Much like me, she devoured each word. When she was not attending school, she would raid my library of books, which always included the next book in your series. Due to my own busy schedule, I never managed to read The Fiery Cross. During Spring break in March of 2011, my stepdaughter and her husband came over to the house to share the news that we were going to be grandparents. Before she left the house that night, she grabbed “The Fiery Cross” from my bookshelf.

I never saw her again after she left the house that night. The home they were renting caught fire in the early morning hours. I have never replaced that book in the series. I guess I keep hoping that one day she will put it back on my shelf.

I want to take a minute to thank you for bringing my stepdaughter and I closer together. Because of your books, I was able to develop a closer relationship with my stepdaughter. Our relationship was so close that she even told me how I was more of a mother to her than her own biological mother. I have never been able to have children and my stepdaughter (daughter) is the closest I have ever been to being a mom. I just wanted to thank you because knowing now that my time with her was cut short; I am so thankful that, because of Outlander, our relationship was bonded for a lifetime.

I think you’ll enjoy the show a lot, Bruce! I didn’t have “control,” but the production team were amazingly good about including me, showing me scripts and footage, asking my opinions (though under no legal compulsion to take them [g]), etc. I think they’ve done a fabulous job.

–Diana

I have read every book, bought and listened to every audio book, and now I can’t wait to see how the upcoming series interprets the work of this wonderful author. I hope Diana had creative control..
