Hi Diana,
You are going to need to sleep for a week to recover from you tour, WOW! 10 city's in in as many days. When you are in TO (Toronto) i will buy you a coffee or three.
Tanya
I am so thrilled you are coming to Edmonton! I will be there with lots of friends (I have hooked many, many people on your books
& a couple of books to sign. Looking forward to meeting you!
shhhhhh
Don't tell anyone else you're coming to Halifax. Then it can just be a few of us … we can have a latte, kick back and chat … I promise to bring chocolate…
Just kidding. I visited with you in Calgary, and now that I'm a Haligonian I'll visit you when you come here as well. Can't wait.
You're my inspiration – I've written 3 novels because of you!
I am so so thrilled you are coming to Ottawa! I can't wait to meet my favourite author.
Dear Genevieve–
Congratulations! [g]
i was soo excited to see Ottawa on the list and then i saw the date …I will be in New York …i cant believe i cant go to the book signing …sniffle
Can i send a friend in with my copy to get it signed?
Also i have been looking for the Outlander First Print Autographed Edition…what would be my best bet?
I am delighted that you are coming to Canada, and look forward to seeing you in Calgary! Yahoo! Many, many thanks for putting yourself through a gruelling schedule for the fans (a new city each day, sometimes two, and going from Calgary to Edmonton to Saskatoon to Kelowna in a weekend. WHEW!!!). I hope you have a chance to catch your breath and eat some good chocolate and drink some great wine.
Dear Alifiya–
Of course you can send your book with a friend–why on earth not?
As for finding a signed First Edition, the easiest thing to do would probably be to email Patrick Millikin at the Poisoned Pen bookstore (patrick@thepoisonedpen.com). That's my local bookshop, so I stop by every week or so to sign any orders they have–and they do specialize in first editions.
No idea what it might cost, but Patrick can probably tell you approximately.
I am thrilled to meet you in Calgary and get my book signed! As a busy mom of three my foray into the world of Jamie and Claire at the end of my day is one of true euphoria. Your writing is amazingly descriptive and full of humor and heartfelt emotion! It is the best series I have ever had the privilege of reading. Take care Diana and see you soon.
I am thrilled that you will be in Kelowna. The location is only a short drive from my home near the US/Canada border. Thank you! Thank You!! I will be there – hopefully with some friends – and all of us with books in hand! I remember writing you an email when I received 'A Breath of Snow and Ashes' from my husband when we were married in 2005. It was so great that you emailed me back! Looking forward to meeting you in person.
I am beyond thrilled that you're coming to Winnipeg! I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I might get to meet one of my favourite authors one day! Needless to say, I'll be there with book in hand for the signing (plus a copy for my mother as well, who unfortunately lives 8 hours away).
Ya hoo !! your coming to Ottawa. My friends & I will be there! We are taking the afternoon off to make it a girls day out. We can not live without Jamie & Claire.Hoping your going to do a reading & get a picture with you . As I always one more check of the Bucket list. See ya soon.
seriously love the Outlander
