Diana was born in Arizona and grew up in Flagstaff, and she still lives in Arizona. Diana talks about her birth in “Myth and Mountain Birthdays:”

It’s a very touching account.

I just finished reading Lord John and the Private Matter. I am just dying to know what happened to Trevelyan and Maria? Did they die, live, and up settling with different partners??? Also, I am wondering about the ghost in Outlander…clearly it is Jamie…But how could he possibly come to be in Claire’s time since he was unable to…hear the thum of the stone in Jem’s hand, or be unaffected by the stones each time Claire went through? I know you said all will be explained in the last book, but my brain is bursting trying to figure this out.

Hard to think of baseball when we are expecting snow Saturday in Saskatchewan. Maybe hockey!

Wish I’d been watching on Friday. Not the loyal Canadian fan I should be. The game results may explain that. Love your books and series. As new characters are released in the series I recognize them right away just from having read your books, great casting so far. Sir John is a little more gorgeous than I’d pictured. LOL

Congratulations! Where, in “distant Arizona” did you grow up? I live in Mogollon Rim country, Heber-Overgaard, AZ.

my brother gave me Outlander as I was heading to Scotland to research our Murray
family from Dunbar. I began it in the Glasgow airport in 2016 as I was heading home
to Washington state.
I have now completed all your Big Books and it took me almost 2 years!

my counselor asked me why I Love your books and I told her ~ it’s the
loyalty, the family Love, the passion of the couples for each other and
the sex! as well as how Jamie always rescues Claire and Claire saves Jamie
more than once.my counselor then listened to the audio book of Outlander.

I am a minister and sometimes I preach. I love the story of Roger’s sense of
calling. I was very upset with you when he was hung and almost lost his life
and his beautiful voice.
I have quoted Jamie telling of his “silent moments”
as he secretly watches young William by the campfire.

after reading A Breath of Snow and Ashes,
I called both my grown children to tell them how much I love them.
After completing, Written….I called Annelle, my Outlander sponsor (it’s our
joke) to talk with her. we were both so surprised by the lovely heart warming
cliff hanger ending on the very last page!
You are a masterful writer!!! THANK YOU! Deanna

Have read every syllable you’ve written (at least twice!) and longing for more. Made a pilgrimage to Scotland in August to Outlander territory (incl. Culloden, Inverness, western Highlands and Skye), followed by five days in Edinburgh during the Festival. Immersing myself in that breathtaking, glorious landscape and culture was thrilling — a dream trip! You’ve opened up a whole new universe for me, and I’m deeply grateful. “Bees” can’t get here soon enough for me!

I remain your most humble and adoring servant,
Emily

Glad you had a blast. Nice artistry for the wine bottle labeling. Not a Yankees fan but I’m sure throwing out the first pitch for my Orioles this season would not be a thrill.
