The official publication date for GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE was November 23, 2021. (Not November 22.) I will check and see if there is a typo somewhere on Diana’s website. :-)

The virtual online celebration hosted by Random House was held o November 22, but the book was not officially released until the next day.

Thanks!

I did wait although, only because I had no choice. “Tell it to the Bees” cam out on the 22nd of November and I received my copy yesterday, on the 23rd. Within 8 pages I was in love (with all of the characters as I encountered them, one by one) again and you, my Kitty and I spend several hours curled up as I was sucked back into the vortex of the Outlander series.

Thank you for this and thank you for what you do. I love your writing and the stories that you tell. On the other hand, I do need to change my attitude because even though I’m only about 50 pages in, I’m mentally counting my was down to the end and dreading it.

I find it interesting that when I look above, I signed my note as “Woody – Colorado” when I had been living in Wisconsin for 3 months (still here) and 9 years in Maine prior to moving here. Wherever I’m from, I love your writing and appreciate what you do!

I have been trying to get my daughter to read your books for years, I got the DVD box set for Xmas and asked her to humour her mother and watch the first episode with me…. she loved it! We watched the whole thing back to back and then she had to read DIA and is now on Voyager!

I paced myself but all good things must come to an end! I loved your ending in MOBY… it was perfect…but of course now that I know there is a book nine I am excited to continue Jamie and Claire story along with their family! Thank you for this wonderful saga and being the person you are…it means a lot to your fan base to be so personable and approachable! Your posts on social media are fun and I know I look forward to them!

Should be interesting
I was also wondering who is living in Fergus’ cabin on the ridge since they moved out. Maybe Brianna and Roger could live there. Jamie and Clair’s new house is going to be very crowded with Fanny, Germaine and Jenny not to mention Ian and his little family They are definitely going to need that third floor Jamie was asking Claire about near the end of Moby
I love that you are posting little bits of book nine. Can’t wait for more.
I will wait to re-read books 1-8 until just before book nine comes. Was it 6 or 9 weeks after you finish writing it?
You will of course keep us all up to date on your progress.

Do you know if it will be back for a third season?

I stumbled upon your series after spending several years in school and reading nothing but nursing books and articles. I was immediately hooked! I love the way you fully develop the characters and immerse the fictitious with the factual – who wouldn’t be thrilled with the prospect of meeting George Washington?!?! (Not that I romanticize our forefathers…). And there are so many other instances and people whom it would seem wonderful to understand the truths that the history books do not tell us.
Anyway, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to creating these works that you share with us. I stop wish I could write as well!!
I am so looking forward to the 9th book, but will read some of your other books in the meantime.
All the best,
Laura
