		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Diana,

Guess you&#039;ll have to wait and see! Obviously, I&#039;m not going to reveal any details here. :-)

All Will Be Answered in Book Ten, including details about the Highlander ghost that Frank saw in the beginning of OUTLANDER!

Thanks,

Diana]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Kathy,

Diana has discussed how an adaptation of her books to a video format is complex, and cannot be exactly like the books. See her blog:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dianagabaldon.com/2014/10/filmtv-commentary-part-i-adaptation-logistics-and-testicles/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&quot;FILM/TV COMMENTARY, Part I: Adaptation, Logistics, and Testicles,&quot;&lt;/a&gt; from October, 2014.

Cheers,
Loretta

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings and salutations, Mrs. Gabaldon.  What’s a roundabout count for the number of pages in your next Outlander book.  Just wondering how many days I should call in sick for-pages &lt; 630 = 1 day.
         
                                                                                       Thank you, a typical taciturn male]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Carla,

Nice to hear from you! This is Diana’s Webmistress, the computer nerd who keeps her busy website running and updated behind the scenes. I forwarded your comment to Diana&#039;s public email address (dgabaldon@aol.com), but Diana does not sell books to readers.

You may buy a new copy online right now of OUTLANDER (current editions) or her other titles  for your friend,signed by Diana, from the Poisoned Pen Bookstore in Scottsdale, AZ. Diana has a special arrangement with this wonderful independent bookstore. 

You pay the list price for the book plus shipping, and they have copies of many books signed by Diana and in stock; there is no additional charge for Diana’s signature. 

The main store website for the Pen is:

http://store.poisonedpen.com

Enter Diana’s name or Outlander in the search box.

If you have any questions, contact the Pen’s friendly staff at 

sales@poisonedpen.com

More information about the Poisoned Pen and books signed by Diana, including the phone number for the Pen, is also posted under the Resources menu on this website.
 
About your friend, I am so sorry to hear about her home. I lived in El Sobrante, CA, for three years until April 1 of this  year, and the 2018 fires were awful too. 

Victoria is very lucky to have a caring friend like you. Give her a big hug from me. 

Cheers,
Loretta
Diana’s Webmistress

		<description><![CDATA[Rene,

Glad you are looking forward to the BEES excerpts (&quot;Daily Lines&quot;)!

Ye olde Webmistress (me), was busy with urgent behind-the-scenes web work for several months. I&#039;m the nerd who does the programming and computer stuff behind the scenes for Diana&#039;s busy and internationally popular website, as well as helping out with posting new excerpts when I have time.

Plus I moved cross country, about 1,200 miles. :-) So sometimes me gets behind...

Look for a new batch beginning tonight!

Cheers,
Loretta
Diana&#039;s Webmistress]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am so disappointed it has been six years in June and still no publication date for Bees. If I am still alive when it is finally printed it saddens me that I probably won’t make it to read the final book because of the length of time it has taken for Bees. Though the Outlander TV series has been entertaining, I would rather have had the next book as your focus but then you know the story line.  So, thank you for the wonderful books I have been able to read and truly enjoyed. You have done a wonderful job of writing these books, weaving your story and researching for them. 

Genealogy is my personal passion and the history through which my ancestors lived has been brought to life in your books in many ways. I have learned much and have been inspired to learn even more in detail because of the descriptions and facts presented. I have an ancestor named James Frazier who migrated to early Virginia and, though my father’s family were born and reared there, I grew up in NC in the mountains - so  Frazier’s Ridge looks like “home”.   Thank you again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Diana,

I’m writing to you with a very special request. My very dear friend, Victoria [last name withheld], is one of your number one fans! She has purchased your book, Outlander, several times to give to people to read.  Of course, she also had this book. Sadly, her entire family home and every stitch of belongings they had was demolished in a recent fire. August 18, 2020, Northern California area near Lake Berryessa was overcome by one of the largest fires in California history. Among Victoria‘s most precious belongings was an autographed copy of your book, Outlander.  Victoria does not know that I have reached out to you, and frankly she would be the first one to say that there are many other people who need so much more than she does.  Victoria is an amazing friend and is constantly giving to others. My hope and prayer is that there would be someway that you could send her an autographed copy of your book, Outlander,  to replace the one she lost in the fire. I would be more than happy to pay for the book, as  you see,  the most special part of  the copy she had, it was autographed by you. 

 Thank you, in advance, for your kind consideration.

 Respectfully, Carla]]></description>
