		<description><![CDATA[Ms. Gabaldon -

Can you at least ask your future Movie Directors to hire Gerard Butler as Jamie gets OLDER?

Most of the projected male stars look like the boy next door, without the edge of darkness that OUTLANDER Jamie possesses.

Also, Dougal needs to be REALLY handsome to highlight his betrayals; 
we gotta fall in love with him first, then get faced with the challenge of working that through.

Thanks, I hope, M.Jackson]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wanted to pass on that I have loved the books from the moment my grandmother and mother got me interested in Outlander in the early 90&#039;s.  You had 3 generations of fans from the first book, in our family! (I am close to your age.)  I do want to read some of the spin-off series, as well (so many books, so little time...) I want to commend you on your top-notch writing skills. Very articulate, detailed descriptions of historical and cultural information.  You know so much about so many things, and I have learned a lot, as well! So many feelings can be provoked from relationships of the characters.  Thought I would pass on a comment, even though from your blog comments, you are tired of getting suggestions for actors to play Jamie.  I just wanted to share my recent thought when watching the new Tom Cruise movie Oblivion.  I really was intrigued by the actor named Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who was working along side Morgan Freeman in the movie.]]></description>
