		<description><![CDATA[Google translation to Spanish:

Hola Maria,

Jamie se refería al hecho de que Claire es una viajera del tiempo, lo que significaba que podía ser una bruja para las personas en muchos períodos de tiempo. A menudo, estas personas supersticiosas quemaron o apedrearon a mujeres que pensaban que tenían poderes mágicos.

Aclamaciones,
Loretta
Diana&#039;s Webmistress

-------
Hi, Maria,

Jamie was referring to the fact that Claire is a time traveler, which meant she could be a witch to people in many time periods. Often these superstitious people burned or stoned women who they thought had magical powers.

Cheers,
Loretta
Diana&#039;s Webmistress]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m happy the show has been a success for the readers and you also Diana. It&#039;s obvious to someone who reads alot that you don&#039;t simply sit down and start to write. The books are a testament to all the effort you put into research, your characters personalities and the storyline as a whole. Thanks for the joy you given us readers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question about &quot;my brown one&quot; (?) -  It was great to see your online excerpt online here because it has Jamie saying &quot;mo nighean donn&quot;. This finally reconciles with what I&#039;m hearing on the show - it sounds like &#039;money and down&#039; - but my book print says &#039;mo duinne&#039;. Am I just too crazy trying to &#039;phonetic&#039; Gaelic, lol?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Diana,
I began reading the Outlander series in 1992.  At the time I was going through a heartbreaking divorce.  Your books saved me.  So much so that I forced my friend Maureen to read them too.  She told me she had a bone to pick with me because a) she stayed up late reading and b) she couldn&#039;t put them down.  Together through the years we have enjoyed them so much.  When we heard that the series was to be on the STARZ network we both called and had it added to our cable service.  It&#039;s so worth the money.  I have recommended your books to people over the years many, many times.  Truthfully, they are the best books I&#039;ve ever read.  Now, my husband is hooked on the tv series.  We love to watch it together.  The sex scenes make him blush but he loves them none the less.  I loved the scene where you are at the gathering on the catwalk and the cook makes the comment that she saw you in that dress the year before.  What a hoot!  I am so in awe of you intelligence and imagination.  You have brought so much entertainment and pleasure to so many people.  Please don&#039;t ever stop.  I look forward to book #9.  My love for Claire and Jamie will never die as my hopes to see Caitriona and Sam become a couple.
Warmest regards for your good health and happiness,
Anita]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Donna--

   I wouldn&#039;t worry, if I were you.  It&#039;ll be a good ending.  But we&#039;re nowhere near the final book, you know...

    Best,

		<description><![CDATA[I read Outlander many years ago and was hooked and have waited patiently for each book to come out over the years. I&#039;m concerned that I may not be able to read the final book because our much loved Jamie dies or so I&#039;ve been told. Can you tell me that the ending will make it worth reading and not be too terribly sad? I really love this book series. I&#039;m an avid reader and appreciate the books so much.]]></description>
