I have just finished the 8th book. I loved each and every word, every letter of your books. You are an exceptional, incredible writer, best that I have come across in my entire life. For the fırst four books, I finished them one per week and after that due to the pandemıc I had to slow down but ıt was two and a half weeks pace. I could fınısh all your books ın three months tıme. Now I am starting from the beginnig, I know thıs ıs an unending journey and passion. I cannot thınk of a day wıthout Outlander. You have created such a fantasy world for us that we never want to go out, characters are so real, no one else could do that other than you. Thank you for all that you are and take care. I am so excıted and cannot waıt for the Bees. Lots of Love

Hoping you find some happiness and success in your life,

Diana hopes to finish GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, the ninth book in her Outlander series of novels, by the end of 2019, but that is NOT carved in stone. So BEES will likely come out some time in 2020. Her books take an ENORMOUS amount of time to write and to do the historical research necessary. There are no shortcuts.

As it says on Diana’s website, as soon as a publication date is set for BEES, it will be prominently posted. Keep checking periodically. It will be worth the wait.

Cheers,

“Agony?” “Little bits that Diana feeds us?” My goodness! You make Diana sound like Attila the Hun! Like all of us, she can be wicked when called for, but I assure you, Diana Gabaldon does not intentionally torment her readers.

Of course Diana will announce the publication date of BEES as soon as it is known; the release date will be announced on this website (Diana’s only official webpage), her official facebook and twitter accounts, and her publisher will notify the news media. She plans to finish writing the book this year.

As Diana has said multiple times, her Outlander series novels are huge books and take a LONG time to write, and to do the historical and other research for them. There are no shortcuts to producing quality.

Till BEES is out, I hope that you will try some of the excellent authors that Diana recommends in her Methadone List:

And also ask people at your local independent bookstore for suggestions on good books to read in the meantime.

By the way, Diana Herself is 67 years old, only a few years younger than you are. I’ve known her for almost 35 years, and she lives each day to the fullest, the way we all should.

So hang on, dear; everything will be okay! You’ll make it! Just months to go for BEES. (And please go to the eye doctor if you haven’t already.)

Cheers,

I sent you an email over a month ago, and suggested that you take a photo of the inscription and send it to me by email. I’m glad to look at it and let you know what Diana wrote! No response from you so far.

Diana often uses Gaelic greetings as inscriptions.
