Until I read The Fiery Cross I did not know where my grandmother got the tradition of having a tall, dark male come through the door first on New Year’s Day. Every New Year’s Day she would call my step-father and insist he come over to her house (next door to ours) and come through the door bringing salt with him. When I did her geneology I discovered her father’s great-grandfather was of Scottish descent. I guess it was brought over with him and kept up through the generations.

Victoire,

The Starz crew chooses the horses for the TV series, not Diana.

Book 9 & 10;

obviously Jamie and Claire are the central characters and I adore them.

But as the younger generation has matured I have grown increasingly attached to them Bree, Roger and their children (also Ian with his growing family, and of course William) I want to watch them move forward and especially see how time traveling is handled for those who can.

as 1800 is the est end time for the books which gets them both into their 70/80′s they will certainly be great -grandparents by the (maybe more). will all or some of those children hear the buzz if so what will they do with the ability

Hi, Jennifer,

In her FAQS (under the Resources tab), Diana answers the question about the ghost in Outlander:

“The ghost is Jamie*mdash;but as for how it fits into the story, All Will Be Explained—in the last book.”

So, we’ll see in a few years! Diana has also said that Book Ten will likely be the last of the Outlander series featuring Jamie and Claire.

Wait…..that part about Clair in the B & B when she’s looking out the window and their is a man staring up at her. Before the whole time travel started. That wasn’t Jaime?

Now that we are into the next installment of “Droughtland” a new excerpt would be most appreciated.

I know from my own reading that there is some interesting history of the “mountain folk” being raised and dealing with a force of Cornwallis’ at Kings Mountain (battleground, October 7, 1780). This was where some retribution for Banastre Tarleton’s many abuses of surrendering Continental troops resulted in the term “Tarleton’s Quarter”. These activities during this period would be ones that most affected Fraser’s Ridge occupants and would have turned the rest of the residents into greater sympathy for the rebellion.

Wherever she goes, I am eagerly awaiting any scraps that may be tossed my way!
