		<description><![CDATA[I agree particularly with the last contributor regarding the lack of inclusion of many of the humourous dialogues between Jamie and Claire in the TV series. Because we are seeing the strength and  evolution of their powerful relationship as they age, things other than sex will be part of that. It is apparent in the books that they are very comfortable with each other and share so much. I suppose this doesn’t make for exciting TV but I hope future TV seasons can represent these other elements, as well as the sexual, with as much veracity, tenderness and humour as good relationships (and your books) demonstrate. 
Thanks for a wonderful and affirming world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why why why will the TV people not incorporate the charming wit and humor of the book? When I see really truly funny dialogue between J/C I cringe when I realize how that dialogue will be portrayed on TV. I want less of the bodice ripping/sex moaning and more of the history and science !!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m so delighted to finally get the time to thank you for your books and series. I&#039;ve absolutely fallen in love with Outlander. I&#039;m a newbie author and was thrilled to discover a kindred soul who would understand that some of the stuff writers do just comes like a piece of the  &quot;collective consciousness&quot;. Sometimes it feels like the characters are telling you who they are. Having just read your web and blog tonight, just wanted to take the time to express gratitude. I&#039;m not linear, either. I&#039;m an avid reader first and foremost. Also addicted to good film!! And when I&#039;m watching on Starz, the emotions that the hero and heroine display bring me tears and joy and understanding. Be sure that I will continue to follow your sites because of sincere admiration solely!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been following Jamie and Claire since 1991.  They have become like family and, of course, being of scottish heritage, he has stolen my  heart!   You must continue this series.  I don&#039;t know if I could part from all their stories and adventures.  I love this story!!!!! 
Hands down, my most favorite writer]]></description>
