I just finished reading the Outlander series again and will keep reading them again as I find things I might have missed or forgotten and enjoy them as much as the first time. Thank you so much.

A beautiful story, well told. Just love the books and the show : so detailed and captivating!!

I worked in a library in the late nineties : filed special books away in a closed access (non public) area. One of these special books was “Cross Stitch” (Outlander). I used to whizz around the shelves filing the books away as fast as I could ….then spend a couple of minutes secretly reading my favourite chapters of Cross Stitch / Outlander. Bliss!!

thanks so much

Glad you enjoy my Outlander series!

Who knows what life (and the space-time continuum) has in store for all of us? I hope that I live long enough to finish writing book nine and ten of the Outlander series! (I’m currently 66 years old…)

And I love to hear from y’all, but I’d be so happy to never, ever hear “I hope I live long enough…” again from readers referring to my next book. Worrying out loud (for the umpteenth time) that one might die before I finish my next work doesn’t make me write any faster.

Each of my major novels take years to create, both because of the extensive historical research required and the work required in writing them. That has not changed since my first book, OUTLANDER, was published in 1991; I will not publish a book until I have done my best. I will probably finish writing BEES in the fall of 2019. After that, a publication date will be determined and announced. So hang on! It will be okay.

Thanks,

-Diana

Although I have read and love all of the books and have watched the DVD’s more than much in all honesty I would have referred shorter sex scenes to allow the inclusion of more of the banter of Jamie and Claire which were really my favorite parts of the books. The one where they are talking after she has been to a parisian “spa” is my all time favorie between Jamie and Claire. I noticed that many of these scenes were cut from the TV version for time. I just wish they could have left them in place on the DVD’s for which there are no real time constraints. Just a thought.

While Jamie and Claire’s love story is the
most supremely satisfying element
of your books, I have to say the most amusing
element is your treatment of animals.
Clarence, Donas, Adso—and of course the
great white sow—each critter comes to life
on the page. Thank you!

Dear Diana; Thank you so much for writing books that are amazing. As a author of children’s books I know you can’t force the ideas that you have.

Dear Diana, Thank you so much for writing books that are amazing. I have read all your books several times and each time I do so I feel that I am closer to the family that you have created. I can’t wait for book 9 to be released, but as a author of children’s books I know that you can’t force the ideas that you have, and there are days when it is difficult to put anything down, but the end results are worth waiting for. Thank you again.

Diana,
Your work has been such a wonderful part of my life, from the first chapter of Outlander way back when you first published it, to the last word in your 8th book. This incredible love story just stays in the heart. The wait between books has not bothered me much. The anticipation of reading the next book carried me through, each time, including now. I just want to say, very well done, dear lady. Brava!!

Only recently did I happen upon the Outlander series and hooked I have become. I quickly binge read all eight books and then tuned to the series on Netflix. What imagination you have! I especially love the history, it awakens an urge to review my grade seven history classes, the Scottish brogue awakens a desire to visit Scotland and may I add, the love scenes aren’t too shabby either! I look forward to Bees, but meanwhile I will bide my time by reading the Lord John books. Congratulations Diana, you are a perfectly wonderful author. I am sorry to have missed you when you took part in the Frye Festival a couple of years ago in Moncton, New Brunswick. All the best and happy writing!
