I just finished Bees for the 3rd.time. I turn 89 in January! I tell all my children, I plan to stay around until the last book is finished and I read the end of the story!
I love the books, and see so many things that remind me of experiences in my own life.

Thank you Diana for the gift of these books.

The Poisoned Pen bookstore in Scottsdale sells new copies of all of Diana’s current titles, signed by her at no additional cost. You pay the list or sale price of the book plus shipping. They have the anniversary editions of her first four books in hardcover; those books are out of print in their original hardcover editions. And the anniversary editions are beautiful. Diana has that arrangement with the Pen so that readers who want a signed copy may easily order one. (Diana does not have the staff or the time to sign people’s books that are mailed to her. And lately her schedule is so hectic she is doing very few in-person signings.)

I too have taken comfort from Diana’s books, with my dog and cat! Also the works of Ursula K. Le Guin (The Earthsea Cycle) and Tanith Lee (THE BIRTHGRAVE is one of my favorite all-time books). Plus I’m working to get my own books finished and hopefully published. At 69 years old, it is so hard to meet eligible men where I live, but still hopeful. :-)

Hug your pups for me,

Loretta

So glad you love Diana’s books. You’re “hoping” to be around in a few years? Hey, plan on it, is my advice.

Diana is 71 years old, by the way.

Regards,

I just finished “Bees” and was delighted when I looked up your name and found an excerpt of a book 10. I’ve read all of the Outlander Series and want more! I am looking so forward to book ten. I cried like a baby during the end of the last battle in “Bees.” (the book which I also patiently waited for.). I’m 78 also hoping to be around for book 10.. Happy writing and Gods blessings to you and your family❣️

I also have all of the DVDs up to this point.
Watch each season as is comes out. And read books over between seasons. Rewatch all episodes. Hard to wait for more. I am 63. Your books and my two dogs have kept me from spending my days lonely. I prefer their company over most people! Lol. Thank you!

Diana is 71 years old. Not much younger than you are.

As stated on the website and her social media, she is working on that book now. It takes 3-5 years to write the large novels of the Outlander series, ever since OUTLANDER was published in 1991. These books are equal to about 3 ‘regular’ novels. Plus Diana does an enormous amount of historical research for each one, which takes time as well.

It will be worth the wait.

I have read the entire Outlander series and have been obsessed since book one. I am so very eager to hear when the sequel to ‘Go Tell The Bees’ is to be released. I’m aware that your more lengthy books can take ever such a long time from commencement to completion but I would so like to be able to put in a forward order at my local booksellers for book number 10.
Your books have also led me to delve deeply into the American War of Independence the struggle for liberty and the fascinating characters that eventually helped to shape the colonies. I thank you for bringing to life something I had little knowledge of.
Waiting in anticipation for the continuing saga of the Outlander series.
Yours.

Ellen Stevenson.
