Hi,

Penguin Random House is handling all the details for the event. If you sign up for a free or paid ticket to the event, you will receive emails with updates about that information from Random House as they become available.

Here is the link for tickets (on Eventbrite, a ticket-purchasing website):

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/an-outlander-celebration-with-diana-gabaldon-tickets-187791157407

Otherwise, so far as I know, no other details are available except to ticket holders. Will add that information if it is made available.

Thanks,
Loretta

I have loved learning about how you got started writing. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me and the world. It has helped me grow and deepen as a writer. You’re a huge inspiration to me.

Hello,

Do you have any information regarding the trivia and giveaways portion of the event for this Monday? How will that be handled and how many will be offered? So far, neither the people at Old Town Books or Random House have been able to answer those questions.

Thanks,
Deb

Will there be an audio version released at the same time as the print or will it be later? My husband and I don’t have much time to read (much as we love it) and really enjoy listening to books on our 4 hr drives (each way) to our nearest VA doctors. We have been anxiously awaiting the books release.

Hi, Eva,

A great question. I will see if I can find out and will post what I find.

Waterstones in the U.K. is replaying it on November 23 for folks who want to register through them. But I don’t know about the U.S.A. and other countries.

Thanks!

Is there any chance there will be a recording we can watch at a later date?

Hi, Valerie,

The November 22 event launching BEES is a virtual event, which means it will take place entirely on line via streaming video (Zoom web client). Folks in multiple countries may watch if they sign up for a free ticket or buy one of the tickets with extras, such as a copy of the new book. It is hosted by Diana’s publisher, Random House.

So, not sure what you mean by ‘across the pond’ about the Nov. 22 event, since folks in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. can obtain a ticket to watch it live online, as well as other countries, from what i understand.

Some folks, including Diana, will be joining live on November 22, while some actors and others may have submitted recorded greetings.

Waterstones bookseller in the U.K. is replaying the launch event on Nov. 23 for folks there.

Cheers,
Loretta

Hello, I am impressed by the plethora of related stories to Outlander, and wonder if there is one that gives the childhood history of Claire. If there is not, it seems like a really worthwhile project that many of us would love to read.
Thanks

I’m thrilled about this release, even from across the pond where I’ve no chance of attending the event.

I’ve been waiting for what seems like ages for “Bees” though if ever a series ended perfectly I’d say it was already accomplished. I feel like I’m going to get to visit with some long-lost friends in a few weeks.

I’d started reading the series about 6 months before going to Scotland on vacation. It was nice to have some historical perspective, and Diana Gabaldon did a fabulous job with the history.

Now to go place my pre-order!
