From September 11, 2015, in the early hours:
USO Tour! I’m happy and excited to announce that I’ll be doing a brief USO tour on bases in the UK and Germany, in company with the lovely Kathleen Antrim and Tess Gerritsen. Operation Thriller V starts in about four hours….
For those non-US fans not familiar with the USO, it’s a private, nonprofit, non-partisan organization whose mission is to support the troops by providing morale, welfare and recreation-type services. I think we’re recreation.
Will try to share notes and photos as I can—in the meantime, enjoy yourselves!
Webmistress’s note: Sorry, but these U.S.O. appearances were arranged for members of the U.S. military, NOT the general public.
Diana’s confirmed public appearances around the globe are listed and regularly updated at http://www.dianagabaldon.com/appearances.
Also posted on my Facebook page on September 11, 2015 at 2:36 a.m. (MST).
Diana, the Operation Thriller V link is not working; when and where will you be? Are you coming to the Stuttgart area?
Dave, see the above note that was added. These appearances for the U.S.O. were for the U.S. military personnel, not the general public.
I’m a DOD civil servant and eligible.
Dave Peck,
I am also military personnel in the Stuttgart area. Before the event, I spoke with our USO about details regarding this fantastic opportunity. They explained that MWR was responsible for the details, advertising, web link connections and other specifics. Unfortunately, I was not able to learn any of the information that I needed to participate in the event. Were you able to connect with anyone who could give you specifics about how to participate? I would have traveled across Europe for this!!!
Got up too early for a warm South Texas morning, so relaxed in my “mama chair” with my well-worn copy of Voyager. Did that random thing when you open the book just any old page and start reading – a perfect start to another day. Thank you, DG!
What a wonderful, rewarding experience this will be! So excited for you and your audience! Enjoy every minute.
Diana will be at RingCon in Germany from November 6-8, for those who missed the USO tour workshop on 9/11. More details are on her appearances webpage at :

It looks like a great convention.

Where can I buy season one of “the Outlander” on blu-Ray?
Dear Melinda–
Well, you can certainly buy it on Amazon or at Target. Almost any other place you’d buy DVDs, too, I’d imagine.
Best,

Dear Melinda–
Just about anywhere you’d normally buy DVDs, I think–certainly on Amazon.
