Hey Barbara, Jamie calls Fergus „mon fils“, which is frech and means „my son“.
Sounds a bit like ,office‘… (mo:fis).
Hope I could help, Sue

Hi, Silvia,

As I posted in this blog:

http://www.dianagabaldon.com/2021/03/what-finished-means-to-an-author-2/

I have finished writing BEES, and it is now in the process of editing and published, which takes awhile. When my publishers set a release date, it will be posted here on my website.

Thanks!

Diana

Dear Jane,

I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s illness. Blessings to you both.

Thank you for saying my books and the Outlander TV show have helped in this very difficult time, and that you are looking forward to BEES.

Saying a prayer for you and your husband.

Sending hugs,

Diana

Dear Bob,

Nice to hear from you, and it’s your lucky day! I just finished writing GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE and announced it today, on March 27, 2021!

Now BEES has to go through the publishing process, which is discussed in my blog:

http://www.dianagabaldon.com/2021/03/what-finished-means-to-an-author-2/

Note that my publisher will set the final release date for BEES, not me. As soon as it is known, it will be posted here on my official website, as well as on my social media pages.

Stay healthy and safe.

All best,
Diana

Hi, Reba,

The audio version of BEES cannot be created until Diana finishes writing the book!

As it turns out, Diana announced she had finished writing BEES on March 27, 2021. Now the book has to go through the publication process, which will likely take several months. Her publishers will set the release date for the hardcover version of the book as well as the audio and digital editions. The publication date, or release date, is the date that the book will first go on sale.

So begin looking for the audible version of BEES on and after the publication date, when it is announced. Sometimes the audio versions of Diana’s books are available soon after the hardcover edition, and sometimes it isn’t available until a few weeks after the hardcover is released.

Diana discussed the publication process more detail in this blog, if you’re interested:

Any other questions or concerns, please send me an email.

Thanks!

Dear Darlene,

The key word here is “estimate.”

Hello,
Anything you can do to accelerate book#9 being published,
would be appreciated, as I am 85 years old.

Have read all your books many times plus the companion books, Lord John etc. Will much enjoy this next one as at 75 doubt I will see the last one in the series. You are truly gifted.

It absolutely amazes me that you keep Claire’s exact tone and word cadence. From the Outlander Starz series I can hear her voice. “You oughn’t to read” and describing her surgery. Its absolutely great. Thanks.
