A noble sacrifice.

As stated elsewhere, I am working on the tenth book in my Outlander series of major novels. As of now, it will likely be the last book to feature the story of Jamie and Claire. Excerpts of this book will be posted on my official Book Ten (as yet untitled) at:

Thank you for all the books!

No, as stated on Diana’s website, BEES is not the last book featuring Jamie and Claire. Book Ten is next, which at present doesn’t have a title.

Lots of great info on her webpages if you decide to dive into them.

Is there any estimate when book 10 will be released?

I thought I saw an interview where Diana said it would be the last book and would explain the “ghost of Jamie?” In the first novel?
Thank you

Paperback editions of bestselling novels come out some time after the hardcover first editions. Maybe a year or so in most cases. That is up to the publisher for the country you live in.

No release date has been announced for BEES in paperback yet by Penguin Random House, her publisher in the U.S.A. When it is, the information will be posted on Diana’s official website, her official Facebook and Twitter accounts, and on the publisher’s website. International editions are released according to the publisher in each country.

Thanks,
Loretta
Diana’s Webmistress

I was wondering when Bees was going to come out in paperback so I can keep the series all the same.
Thank you

“Painter” is a local word for “panther” in parts of the American south. So these are not typos. :-)

Enjoy BEES!

But she found typos in the first paragraph and on the second page. Is it supposed to read painter and not panther?
