Hi Diana,

Do you have resources (I’ve tried Amazon–no luck) where I might find the Outlander series on CD? I’ve gotten the series from the library (a cumbersome process) but out of my grasp to purchase. I’ve read all of the books enough that the descriptions are burned into my psyche, and I’ve memorized a lot of the cogent dialogue and sequences of events. What I want is having the books on CD available to listen to as we go on road trips. The reading by Davina Porter is so soothing! Since we’re so familiar with the books, a set of abridged copies would by fine, I think.
There is so much intriguing detail in the books on so many varied subjects, that taking “side trips” into investigating these tantalizing subjects is an extra bonus!
I am also interested in the possibility of finding the Gaelic words and phrases used in all of the books on CD. I am very strongly an aural learner and would like to be able to pronounce these significant additions to the stories
correctly.

Thanks for any suggestions. I have both of the Outlandish Companions and have poured of them, but do not hear the words in my head as a fluent speaker would pronounce then. Bobbie

I have completed the 8 book series of Outlander, and am looking forward to the next book. There are so many loose ends to tie-up. I’m just not willing to put down the the people and places you have brought to life. I’m going to read the Lord John series while I wait. Thanks Diana for being…..you!

Thank you for these excerpts from Book 9. I am dying for some word of Young Ian. There has been a mention or two of Rachel, but I have loved Young Ian for several books now and have not read one word about him in all of the passages so far for Book 9. I really hope he and Rachel and young Fox, Wolf, Rollo, Oggy have some time to be happy together.

I’ve read all 8 books and so far they’re wonderful. I’m sort of looking forward to the ninth one. Only one mention of the younger Ian and that one worrisome. Wee Ian is my absolute favorite character. I really hope he’ll be staying around. Really hope there’s not a twist between Ian, William and Rachel a la North and South

I’ve loved the Outlander series for years now and eagerly await book 9 . I love the way you draw the reader into the story. Stories that are compelling and enthralling making you laugh and cry. A real joy. As for the TV show, I watched it with some trepidation, not wanting my Jamie and Claire to be overshadowed by the actors involved. I loved it, thought both Sam and Catriona were brilliant, as was/ is Randall. Thank you for the many, many hours of pleasure you have given me.

I discovered Outlander in the 90′s and was forever hooked. Your writing is so vibrant, passionate and real; I am transported right there with Claire and Jaime. I have Starz just to see the series – Sam (be still my heart) and Catriona are perfect! You are fabulous and I am grateful for the joy of reading your works of art! Thank you.

To be honest, I enjoy this series so much the release of this book 9 can be put off as long as it takes. The longer it takes the better the book as far as you are concerned. I know, as all your fans know, the story will end eventually. When that time comes I raise my glass to you. Thank you and everyone that had opened that first door for this wonderful book to evolve.

I’m Italian. I love your books and my English is very poor.
I would ask you if, after Outlander in TV, when you write your new pages, you
imagine the characters’ appearance the same as the actors’ ones. Thanks. Rita
