A BLESSING FOR A WARRIOR GOING OUT will be the tenth major novel in my Outlander series of novels.

Book Ten follows GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, the ninth major novel featuring the story of Claire and Jamie, which was first published on November 23, 2021.

BLESSING will be the last of my Outlander novels. I am planning one or more novels about Jamie’s parents, and another novel about Master Raymond.

News and information about A BLESSING FOR A WARRIOR GOING OUT will be posted here on my only official website as it becomes available, and also on my official Facebook page. Please bookmark this webpage and check back periodically.

Excerpts (“Daily Lines”) from A BLESSING

For Excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from this new novel, you will always be able to access them here in one place.

Excerpts are listed on the right by temporary titles, which have something to do with that particular snippet. The temporary titles are NOT chapter titles in the new book, just quick references that my Webmistress creates to make them easier to find.

Excerpts are listed in the order of oldest (at top of the list) to newest (at the bottom).

When Will A BLESSING Be Published?

The question that I am asked most frequently is “When Will Your Next Book Be Published?” I am always glad that readers wish to read my next novel, but…

Sorry, I don’t know when I will finish Book Ten, much less when it will be published. I am limiting travel in 2026 to work on it. (It takes a while to write an 800-page novel and also do all the historical and other background research that is required.)

If you are curious about my writing process, please see:

“My Writing Process,” a blog post I wrote in March, 2016.

“Want To Watch Me Write? (Preview),” a blog post of mine from September, 2016.

My Writer’s Corner webpage has links to the above two blog entries and other information about being an author. It is under the Resources Menu on my official website, and a good one to bookmark if you are interested in my creative process.

Thank you, dear readers!
