[…] authors’ blogs like Diana Gabaldon’s and Hugh Howey’s – readers do want to read about how you feel when you write the last word of your novel, or what you were thinking when you killed off your antagonist. That’s the kind of […]

Dear Robbie–

Um…the Outlander series isn’t finished yet. [g] Book 9 is (very slowly) getting underway.

Best,

I have just finished “Written in my own hearts blood”. Loved the whole series.
Looking forward to your next series! You write with such depth and feeling – Bravo!

I had never heard about your books before Outlander debuted on Starz – I love all things history and the previews sparked my interest, and it took one viewing of Episode 1 for me to look you up on line. I ordered the first book of the series that same night. I am not only addicted to everything OUTLANDER now but it has also sent me exploring various historical events in more detail. I just wish I had discovered your books years ago before my mother passed away as she was a voracious reader and would have loved them as she loved everything Scottish, Irish or English. Fortunately, a gift she left with me.

I can’t wait to finish the complete series (which, hopefully, will make it to the small screen as well). I am in awe of you. Thank you.

Dear Patti–

Why, thank you! I appreciate that very much. [smile] It was one of those pieces where you know what you want, but have NO idea how you’re going to get it on the page. Glad it came across for you!

Best,

Hi Diana…I just finished reading all eight books and most of the little books for the second time, and I think the chapter entitled, “The Second Law of Thermodynamics,” in MOBY is probably the most brilliantly written chapter that I can recall reading. Ever. My hat is off to you.

If anyone is just beginning the Outlander books, I envy you. Certainly multiple readings are satisfying but there is just nothing I’ve found that leaves you with a love of so many characters that you want to be real from the very beginning. We live in the foothills of North Carolina and those mountains are even more mysterious and beautiful because I know where the Frasers are and so near! It must take a great deal of courage to submit that first book and I am so grateful that you did. Your books have enriched my life and I know I am not alone in that belief. Thank you, Diana Gabaldon. Donna ( I can hear her say “my pleasure”.)

Dear Jo–

It isn’t the end. Did I say it was the end? No. [g] There’ll be a Book Nine, in the fullness of time.

As for THE EXILE…did you not notice the words “graphic novel” and the sample pages showing illustrations when you ordered the book?

Best,

–Diana
