Cricky , give the woman a break.
It’s a book people, not a life saving operation …… Good things take time, patience is a virtue etc etc
Here’s a concrete pill……so you can harden up

Will wait with patience and decorum till the new book comes to New Zealand x

Diana, I am a very recent convert to your Outlander series. My cousin knew that I love time travel books, so she told me to read Outlander. I have been hooked ever since. I started reading Outlander at the first of January, this year, 2014, and I have finished that and all of the remaining books, and also Scottish Prisoner. I have read several posts where people are upset over publication dates. I don’t think it’s that they are upset, but rather that they just can’t wait!!! I know I can’t wait to see what happens next. Please keep them coming. I will most likely die, though, having to wait 3 years in between books. Lol

1. I have re-read the series a number of times. Each time it is new. Each time I discover something that focus my attention. This time I find myself fascinated by the craft inherent in the way you use language. I also amazed that Claire is a vibrant personality for me without my having a clear physical picture of her. I have a sense of what see might look like physically rather than an crystal clear image of her. I think it fine writing craft to accomplish this – creating vibrancy and immense life in a character without tying the character down to a specific physical image.

2. I just realized you were in Fergus in August. I live just down the road in Elora. Guess that is what I get for not following you more closely on the web.

3. I write to my own sense of standard too. Bravo for you doing what makes sense to you and giving your fans a place to express their disappointment as they wait. “Waiting increases the sharpness of one’s appetite”, at least it does for me.

Regards

Diana,

I also am a new, and completely glued to your books, fan, I know that the first comment that you received from (“Mr Mark), do seem very inconsiderate, I kind of understand, I am now on book 4, I am so hoping when I have reached the last book, the next one will be ready for purchase, he’s a huge fan.
Can’t wait to see it on tv,, congratulations on all of your hard work, it is in your books, Love Love your writing,and I am in Love with Jamie, as well as 20-30 million other people, please do not stop writing!

I have reread these wonderful books. I just can’t get enough. I have even begun to read the Lord John series.
I look forward to being able to eventually purchase the series on DVD.

Dear Lanelle–

Well, such clips as I’ve seen have largely involved his playing a rather effete (upper-class English) character, or a gay one. I’ve had the advantage of having seen him “be” Jamie Fraser–and I can assure you that he’ll do a wonderful job with it.

Best,

–Diana

I agree wholeheartedly. He’s just too feminine in the clips I’m able to find online, even when he’s playing a masculine part. Would have been perfect for Jack Randall, though.

I have followed your books since Outlander first came out. I have loved and cryed with them all. How many more books after “MOBY” and when do you think we can expect Jamies Parents story? I think you should tell eveyone who get in your face about how fast books come out to walk a mile in your shoes.I have been waiting since 1991 for this story to end, i can wait alittle longer. You amaze me with all the details and i cant wait to read about Jamies parents and the story of Dougal and Colum and who hit Jamie over the head. It has been a fun 12 years and look forward to many more of your stories.

Thanks for the ride
Shannon

Dear Susanne–

Until you see him “be” Jamie, I think you’ll just have to take my word for it that he can. [smile] In the meantime, though, you and your colleague might enjoy this: it’s a video of the “fan event” that I did this last weekend in New York with Ron D. Moore (the executive producer and show-runner). It includes a brief “behind-the-scenes” look at the show’s preparation, and about 45 minutes of Q&A with Ron and me.
