I simply can’t get enough of your books !!! I can’t wait to read your latest addition to the saga . You make your characters come alive and make me want to care about each one and follow him/her through time and history …only wish you could write them more quickly to keep up with my interest … I have reread them numerous times and never get bored with them as I eagerly await the next book …. I appreciate all the time and research you put into each one … I just can’t get enough ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Diana, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. A good friend at work introduced me to outlander and we (the book series and I) have been inseperable…the books travel with me no matter where I go…I have no idea how many times I have read all 7 of them..but they are tattered and much loved. May God continue to bless you and you in turn continue to bless us p.s. I knew you were good people when I heard u had weinie dogs.. happiness to you.. marycathryn

The gift you have to move so many by your words is a blessing. I am fortunate that my life has crossed your path. I read and re read Outlander over and over. The book has fallen apart (literally) it is in 3 pieces! I always find something new and fall in love all over again. Thank you for a marvelous escape for over 15 years for me.

Dear Carol–

I will mention it! Thank you–I’d never heard about this before (I don’t watch much television).

I just finished watching the trailer for the TV show and I realized I’d better ask you about descriptive services. I have purchased your books for a blind couple I know, and they are thoroughly enjoying them. Many movies have SAP mode tracks embedded in them, which describe the scene to a blind person. It is supposed to be available for TV too, and I wanted to make sure you knew that there are probably a bunch of blind readers who would enjoy description. It is not your responsibility, and it may not even be possible for television, but I thought I would tell you about it because, without a doubt, you will have access to the ears that count in this regard.

My friend told me her husband stayed up all night reading. He’s just getting to ‘Voyager.’ Thank you for the beautiful way in which you bring human feelings to a page and make me realize that I’m not so different from others after all.

I’ve just finished my first time with you, Diana, listening over the past weeks – in my car and while housekeeping – to Breath of Snow and Ashes and Echo in the Bone , and getting into trouble with my local library over keeping the audiobook sets far too long…and now, finally having found your website, realizing that I must borrow the entire Outlander series of books over the next few months to be ready for your next book.

Having assiduously avoided time travel fiction in the past because fantasy has never appealed as much as real probability, I’m now hooked…and I realize why.

It’s that mystery of Time – ephemeral and bewildering and seductive. I find myself rejecting the notion that what’s past is over. I can still conjure up the sound of my late husband’s voice after 21 years, treasure the image of a fortyish son as a cornsilk hair and blue-eyed babe in arms, and listen to my mom, who may have been a very old lady having lived between ’06 and ’08. but whose strength and the lilt of personality have not even diminished.

Do you recall the CS Lewis tales when the Pevensee children vaulted through the picture frame into an alternate universe, plunged into several years of adventures, and then returned to reality through the frame, finding that the “real” world had moved forward only one second in time since they’d left? For me, truth lay in the contrast between what we call Time and what we call Eternity – an unending Now.

In the meanwhile, thank you for Claire, Jamie, Bree, Roger, Ian, even Rollo. What a trip!

Dear Diana,

Happy Belated Birthday!

I was able to watch some of The Gathering in Los Angeles and was lucky to be watching when Sam and Cait came out. They are terrific as Jamie and Claire. They seem dedicated to the life changing roles they have undertaken. The four of you make a great team for the series. You as the creator are obviously most knowledgeable but it is pretty amazing how both seem to grasp the substance of Jamie and Claire. Ron, too. Should be spectacular production.
