Hi,

Oh, I have enough on my plate to write about for years to come, finishing BEES (Book 9 of the Outlander series), and then Book Ten.

Maybe you should write the story and history that you are suggesting? Just a thought…

Thanks,
Diana

Good Day Ma’am,
I am a big fan of the series. But I will be brief as I don’t wish to waste your time. Since you have done an excellent job in bringing to life the ’45 and what followed, I was wondering if you would ever consider telling the story and bringing to life the plight of the similarly displaced Acadians, ancestors of the Cajuns, who were displaced shortly after the Highland Clearances in what history calls the Great Upheaval. The person I would be most interested in focusing in on is Beausoleil aka Joseph Broussard. When I think of the Jacobite leaders you brought to life, I think of Beausoleil, who’s story has never been told, but I think there’s much potential there; ultimately turning into a Moses-like figure to a promised land. His story is more American and I think no one could do a better job in telling this 18th- Century American tale.

Hola me llamo Micaela escribo desde España ,he leído casi todos los libros (electrónicos) de la saga Forastera . Pero cuando quise comprar el siguiente libro “Ecos del pasado” me doy cuenta que es imposible comprarlo en Apple Book y en ninguna aplicación electrónica. Me pueden decir porque. Diana felicitaciones por toda la saga ,es impresionante. Gracias.

Diana, I need to get this off my chest. I read the small print message from actors complaining about fans being too involved and being annoying, etc. I understand and I haven’t been guilty of such actions. I love the books, series, and actors but they brought this on themselves. the site was bombarded with Cait and Sam’s actions off the set. The hugging, kissing and keeping their hands on each other, even touching their feet at interviews and at events made people believe they were really in love. Fans loved it. All that came crashing down with recent events. Again, they brought it on themselves. Best wishes and thank you.–Carolyn

Ellen I understand your frustration. They keep saying 3 to 4 years and how long and intricate each book is. And that is a fact. But it has been 5 years now since book 8. The web mistress should not have made you feel guilty for asking a simple question.

We many of us are her original fans. Outlander was published 1991, Dragonfly in Amber 1992, Voyager 1994 and Drums of Autum 1997. They were all large intricate books. To finish I have to say thank you Diana for your wonderful talent. We all are just waiting and appreciate you books. Thank You. PS My older sister introduced me to Outlander and I was hoping she would get a chance to read your new book, but she died of cancer in June.

Diana,
Congratulation on Leo, your newest family member! What a wonderful joy, needed distraction, inspiration and life affirming event…granny! Enjoy this special time and the blessing of Leo in your lives. He will grow too fast.

Looking forward to book 9 “Go Tell The Bees I am Gone”, I know it will be another well written BDB. Thank you for the many hours of joy that the first eight books have brought. They have been read at least twice and listened too than many times too. My husband has declared that you are one of the best writers he as every read. And, he is very well read.

Thanks so much for your wit, cynicism, humor and grace with words.

Why tease us with a 2019 date and not have the book published. This is crazy. We have waited so long.

I wish I knew. I am not counting on it coming out this year . probably 2020 if them

That is true but done give us a 2019 then not have the book published then. That is not right.
