Dear Diana,

I am hooked. I have read your books twice already and am anxiously awaiting the release of Bees. You have created a world where I can escape to when the stresses of this life overwhelm me. You bring their joys and their sorrows to life. I can’t help but laugh out loud sometimes when I encounter a funny situation or comment or cry with their sorrows and my husband looks at me like I’m crazy. I truly love all your books and hope you will continue to bless us with your talent creating more books.

Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Dear Diana-
I have been entranced with the Outlander books since you first came out with them. The stories are like none other I have ever read and I have been an avid reader since about the 4th grade. No one writes like you do, your characters are all well developed, plots are complex and require focus and attention in order to catch all the details that will mean something later on. I love your writing! Thank you for the work you do and the enjoyment you bring to all of us who are fans. I don’t know how else to say it.

I met you in Flagstaff in January 2018 at the Scottish Tea put on there by a local group. I was staying in Mesa with friends and the drive up was worth it. Your talk was interesting, informative and totally enjoyable. I was a little star struck so when I asked you to sign my original Outlander book I couldn’t think of anything intelligent to say! But you were so gracious.

I watch the series but am a true lover of the books and the unfolding of plots and characters as you have written them. However, Sam and Cait do an excellent job of bringing Jamie and Claire to life. I have instructed my family that my Outlander books are my most precious possession, I have read them so many times I feel they are old friends and they are to be buried with me!

Keep writing, there will always be those of us who want to read whatever you write. Looking forward to to the next two books in the Outlander series. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dear Ms. Gabaldon,
Just a brief note to thank you for all of the Outlander novels and stories. I found them several years ago, I have no idea how. But I have read and re-read them over and over again. So muc so, that it almost seems real. Tonight I was reading in The Fiery Cross, and came to the part where Jenny signed her entire name in her letter to Jaime. It made me think of my own family, especially as I have been doing some research on my family tree. I have always loved the names of my Great grandmother and her sister because of their originality. Their names were Ada Editha Luginia Rachel Nance (Carver), and Mary Alice Cornelius Americus Nance. I have no idea the origin of all the names, but I love them just the same. My maternal grandfather also had a mouthful, Thomas Haynes, Appelton Renfroe. I just recently discovered that he was a junior!
Thank you again for the friends your have shared.
Sincerely,

Rebecca C. K.

I hope you find this comment. I’m sure it’s my ineptness that has made it so hard to find a way to make a comment:)
I wanted to say thank you for all of the excerpts you have posted. It is so much fun to read them, many times over. I am excited to read the new book, absolutely, but completely happy to wait until you have it like you want it. They (the books) have all been incredibly amazing and absolutely absorbs me (and the rest of the world, it seems:) into the story. It’s like watching a movie in my head.
I just wanted to tell you; you remember the part where Jamie is fighting the bear, Clair is trying to help with the fish, the Indians come up, Jamie says he is fighting the bear and she is hitting him in the face with the fish…I just started laughing like a loon when I first read that. I have told different people about that over the years, struggling with tears in my eyes from laughing, and even after so many years, every once in a while, that pops in my head and I just start laughing. Every time it pops in, I just see it. It is ridiculously funny! Thank you so much for the laughter, fun, escape from everyday sometimes and for creating interest in studying herbal medicine.
PS. I absolutely can not believe you are 67? You look like you are 30. Amazing!
Keep writing for us. It’s working for you:)
