I heartily agree about Diana’s greatness and intelligence. But just between you and I… the quickest way to get Diana’s fin up is to tell her to hurry her writing. She already works harder than any published author I’ve ever met or heard about, especially one who is 70 years old, er, I meant 70 years young.

We all gotta take our vitamins and hang in there for Book Ten. And beyond! :-)

All best,

Loretta
Diana’s Webmistress

I consider you one of the great authors of the 20th & 21st centuries. As I told one friend, “She (you) are one smart Babe!
That being said, kindly get with the program and get the 10th book of the Outlander series published.
I’m 85 years old and don’t have a lot of time to wait around to find out what happens to Jamie and Claire.
This message is meant in all good humor.
Thank you for making your talents available to the world.
Susan Redd

I have read the entire series in order and have loved each and every one. I commented before about Diana’s comments in her books about eating poke salad, uncooked. I pointed out that poke salad can be poisonous if not cooked properly. I would like to comment now that a person living in the woods would never go in bear country to pick grapes as Brianna and Amy did without a big dog or someone carrying a big gun. Picking bear food is very risky. We would take our cats as well as dogs when we went to pick huckleberries in the woods. The dogs will protect from larger predators while the cats will protect you from snakes. Also the bear would have dragged Amy off with him. A bear would never leave prey behind.
Love the story line but not likely in reality.

Many thanks Elizabeth.

I too share the impatience of other commenters as we wait for Book 10 and beyond. I’ll begin my 80th year next week and hope to enjoy your next book and many others that may follow.

Having just finished reading “Bees” yesterday, I’m in that state of sadness brought on by realizing the book actually had to end. It had been several years since I’d read Book 8, so before starting “Bees”, I went back and read it again, but before doing that I needed to read at least the last part of Book 7 to refresh my memory.

Needless to say, these past weeks have strained my weary old eyes, but it has surely been worth it. I wish I could convey how much I appreciate your genius in storytelling. At least I don’t need eyedrops as often. You certainly know how to make the tears flow.

You couldn’t possibly be 70. I’m 75 and look decades older than you!

Congratulations. My sister started me on “ Outlander” because I married a big redhead. Now I am addicted! Thank you.
