I read your books the year before and I just started over, getting ready for the movie and the next book. I read all the “Reacher” books and saw the movie with T. C. as Reacher, my husband loved it but he never read the books. I had a hard time reading his last book, trying to get that guy out of my head. Nothing against T. C. just did not make a realistic Reacher. I do like the actor who is to play in your movie, he is refined, educated and handsome. Thank you for the journey.

However, and this is a big one, I need to know the end of the story. I fought a two year battle with breast cancer, and had Echo in the Bone to help me through, and the thought of an eighth book was something to look forward to. But I want to know that I’ve read it all — that there won’t be something unfinished in the story! Cannot wait until the series, planning group gatherings with wine (or good scotch whiskey!)

Highly recommended!

Your work as always is poignant, beautiful, lifting, and often so gutsy reminding us of each precious moment in our lives not to waste anything.
I understand the frustration for you as the author-just wanting it all to be done, and the frustration of the fans (myself included) for this next book. But as you know, just writing ‘anything’ won’t do to appease the real lovers of your work, and these are not cookies in the oven we are drooling for, but a work of literary art like the best and richest savory bread-to be devoured and loved. Congratulations on keeping us on our toes!

Wishing you and yours beautiful and memorable holidays and a fantastic New Year of 2014 with many fulfilled dreams and wishes. Joyeux Noel et une Bonne Annee!

Have a friend who just recently bought all seven and I began rereading them too. I could not resist the lure of history and time travel again and the current discussions! Thank you for the well written narratives! Really looking forward to the next one in June.

Here in Germany it´s after 9 pm and my cat Adso wants to go out. So, good night and thanks a lot!
Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Please, oh PLEASE don’t push it back any further. I am so afraid I will not make it until June and will not be in my right faculties to read the book. Patience was never a strong point for me.
I love the series. I have reread the entire series at least 6 times. I will start the next reread in mid May and hope that when I am near the end, POOF! the next book will be published and ready.
Thank you Mrs. Galbadon for Outlander. Please, I beg you, make the publishers keep to that date or go back to March.

I’ve read every Outlander novel and will again. This one will be just as good. Feel like I know these characters as friends. Awesome writing, Dianna. Thank you
