  Diana posted a line today on Compuserve that may or may not end up becoming the first line of Book 8.

  That's all there is, just one sentence. But it's an intriguing start! :-)

• Ian and William -- marian (puzzled), 21:42:24 11/18/09 Wed
  Hi I am a huge fan of Jamie and Claire and all of the Outlander books. I was wondering why Ian was calling William "Cousin" when he found William in the swamp. Did I miss something in the last book? Maybe I read it far too quickly. I usually read the previous book before I read the new one, but I didn't this time.Perhaps I should have. I don't remember Claire fixing Lord John's head with sixpence either.?? Can anyone remind me what I missed and what chaper it would be in the last book? I am about half way though the book right now. I wish there had been some maps, I love Maps,I will have to get out my map of the Eastern U.S. to see where they are.

  • I think the Lord John bit was a small boo-boo of the sort that sneaks in every so often. On the last page of Chapter 63 of DOA, Claire is talking to Lord John after she and Jamie return from the Mohawk town where they left Ian. She says "Brianna says that Dr. Fentiman trephined your skull." Then asks if she can examine it because she's never seen a trepanation. ( This is after Lord John is injured when Stephen Bonnet escapes from the explosion in the warehouse near Cross Creek. (NT) -- Margaret D., 19:03:16 02/01/10 Mon

• A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows... -- Carmen, 03:40:02 10/09/09 Fri
  

  
  ...that's the working titel of the story about Roger Mac's parents. It's in an anthology called STAR-CROSSED LOVERS and will be out in about a year or so.
  
  And we have already the first excerpt --> Msg # 65414.79
  
  After reading Echo it makes sense. I, for myself, am eagerly awaiting it.

  • Vicki, please, can you send out the word? (NT) -- Carmen, 04:19:31 10/09/09 Fri
    • I'll do it right now. Sorry, but I was away from Friday until now. (NT) -- Vicki, 14:47:29 10/14/09 Wed
  • Wow! Thanks! Very cool. (NT) -- Lady JenF :), 15:07:56 10/14/09 Wed
  • oooh. Jerry AND Frank. :-) very cool. (NT) -- shellb, 20:27:32 10/14/09 Wed
  • Now I've got to go reread the part where Claire tells Roger about what Frank told her about the missing pilot. My first response is to wonder why Frank wouldn't make a connection between Rev. Wakefield and this lieutenant when Roger is introduced? Well, maybe not. Lots of Mackenzies, I suppose. (NT) -- Ellen P., 15:20:58 10/20/09 Tue
    • Frank is a selfish, self-centred turd who wouldn't much remember a nobody Scot pilot (The Rev is English and a historian). There is a lot more of Black Jack in Frank than Claire knows, he just has a 1900's civilized veneer on him. (NT) -- Jayn, 16:29:03 10/23/09 Fri
      • But how do you Really feel about Frank *g*. Actually, I'm not a fan of Frank and wasn't from the beginning, even before Claire met Jamie. Anyway, I'm so excited about this excerpt and cannot wait to see more of this story. Diana keeps finding new ways to draw us in. (NT) -- MairiS, 22:25:09 10/27/09 Tue
      • Not a Frank lover, are you? I'm with you on the BJR part. There is certainly a bit from him in Frank, but isn't it a bit in us all? Even Herself admitted it on more then one occasion. All in all, I do not think Frank is a bad guy. (NT) -- Carmen, 05:40:44 11/14/09 Sat
    • Missing Pilot -- Dryden Robertson, 12:18:37 11/13/09 Fri
      • It's in the latest installment aka Book 7 :o) (NT) -- Carmen, 05:17:14 11/14/09 Sat
    • Maybe Frank would have made the connection sooner or later,but back than his thought were more focused on his own ancestry (NT) -- Carmen, 05:25:40 11/14/09 Sat
    • Although not one of the 4 over-arching story lines in Echo, this mystery qualifies as another cliff hanger in my book. We knew from the beginning that Frank was working for English Intelligence during the war, so he might have known of other covert operations. Sorry, met my character limit, more inside...... -- Missa, 14:57:37 11/14/09 Sat
      • I'm missing something. what are you guys talking about? (NT) -- sharon fisher, 12:48:39 11/22/09 Sun
  • This is delightful, seeing two characters meet each other who you never expected would meet. Like Briana facing off against Laoghaire. It's like DG is shuffling the cards and seeing which two faces come up together. Fun stuff. (NT) -- Amy, 18:26:56 10/28/09 Wed

• Saw Diana in Asheville -- Anna OG, 10:28:25 09/29/09 Tue
  She gave a nice summation, wanted to remind everyone that Echo _is NOT the last book_. There will be MORE!! She is not finished with the Revolution yet.
  I don't know about you, but I am happy to hear that.
  
  She is a beautiful, very gracious, considering the rabidness of her fans..wanting to know _where Exactly_ the Ridge is. Somewhere in a ten mile radius of Boone NC was the answer.
  I can see hordes of well bred, very polite ladies knocking on every door in that area, wanting to know IF this was ever known as "Frasers Ridge". The State of NC may have to create a Ridge to keep us all happy and out of people's gardens and sheds "NO, I told you there was never any cabin on that spot. Please go away." LOL! at the idea of puzzled and besieged homeowners around Boone.

• Help-Lost Excerpt -- Marta, 20:53:03 10/08/09 Thu
  A couple of years ago I read an excerpt on DG's page and I want to know if anyone has read it as well. I can't seem to find it again. It hasn't been included in any of the current books. **Spoiler** Jamie and Claire are in prison. William breaks in to spring Claire, his stepmother, out. Claire begs William to get Jamie out, but he refuses so she tells William that Jamie is his father. Jamie vows to never forgive her. I know I read this and I'm wondering if it's a story line that no longer exists. I figured if anyone would know it would be the Ladies!

• Custom of the Army -- Lucia, 04:00:13 06/24/09 Wed
  Hi, I don't know if this has been posted already but I just found it and needed to share it :) If you already knew, sorry for posting it again.
  George RR Martin said in his Livejournal that he has finished WARRIORS Anthology and it will be out in March 2010 by Tor, it includes the next Lord John adventure The Custom of the Army.
  Sorry but I don't know how to make a link, it's in Livejournal (www.livejournal.com) in George RR Martin journal "Not a blog" posted March 24. Go to the archive in the journal and just click in that day. Or try copy/paste
  
  http://grrm.livejournal.com/2009/03/24/
  
  I'm really happy, this year Echo and next year a new Lord John adventure, yep I'm really really happy :)

  That's the good news. The not so good news (for us excerpt junkies) is that she's not listing any new Echo excerpts, due to a request from the publisher. Oh, well--it just increases the anticipation for September!

• I think I'm officially going nuts. I don't think I can bear to wait another year for the next one. They don't come fast enough, but at the same time I'm scared to death for the final book to ever come out. I really don't think I can bear it if either one of them dies or god forbid if Claire goes back again. I just can't stand the thought of them being seperated again in any way. If they have to die I want them buried side by side. Sorry guys, but I just had to rant a bit, but I know you all understand how I'm feeling...lol. -- Jenn, 03:34:54 10/06/08 Mon

  • I'm not for sure, and of course, with DG, until it's on the page, nothing is for sure, but I think that somewhere along the line she indicated that they would die together in maybe the early 1800s, but the main thing I remember is that they die together. (Apologies to the board goddess if I shouldn't say that, and feel free to delete.) (NT) -- JudithONH, 18:42:33 10/10/08 Fri
    • I remember her saying something like that. It wasn't something carved in stone, just more an offhand remark in response to a question. I think it was to reassure people that there was no way that Jamie would die in Scotland with Claire in America kind of thing. (NT) -- Vicki, 13:27:33 10/11/08 Sat

  • I thought that Jamie had a dream of Claire at a desk writing with a desklamp? You know how his dreams go..very eerie. He also says that her hair is silver or grey..I am not sure of the exact quote. This says to me that she goes through again? O, I hope they stay together to the end. I couldn't bear them apart again... (NT) -- persianquinn, 08:35:11 10/12/08 Sun
    • Do you remember where that scene is? I also remember Jamie describing a dream he had to Claire, where she is sitting at a desk writing a letter and it is in her own time. But when she asks him to describe what she looks like, he doesn’t remember….I have always hoped that dream was one he had prior to her return, when she was writing her departing letter to Bree….But then again, I also have a shadow of memory of him saying something about her being older, but can’t place than in any of the books. Was that maybe a future excerpt we read??? (NT) -- Mitzi, 00:47:47 10/13/08 Mon
  • I think it's in ABOSAA, sometime after they decide Bree and Roger will go back. I don't remember him saying she looked older, so I always thought that he was dreaming of when she was writing her goodbye letter to Bree. I could be wrong though (all the books merge together a bit for me, and it's been a while since I read ABOSAA). I truly hope that she doesn't go back again though. They need to be together till the end. (NT) -- Jenn, 13:50:36 10/13/08 Mon
  • I don't own ABOSAA yet but I will but it is from that book. I may have to get it from the library again to see exactly what was written. (NT) -- persianquinn, 22:04:32 10/13/08 Mon

  • I just purchased the three books I needed to complete my series. They had them in Borders in paperback which is what I wanted. The hardcover is tough to read in bed. I got the other three at a garage sale..25 cents each if you can imagine. I have been looking for the scene in ABOSAA but haven't found it yet. Will repost when I do...I don't know if I want to read that one again..I just finished a month ago or start all over..what a dilemma :):) (NT) -- persianquinn, 22:14:46 10/21/08 Tue
  • Found it!!!!! It's the very first part of chapter 68 Savages in ABOSAA. He doesn't say she has white hair or looks any older, that it's just her. I'm truly hoping that he's seeing when she wrote her letter of farewell to Bree. (NT) -- Jenn, 14:55:19 10/22/08 Wed
    • That’s what I remember too!! She asks him what she looks like and he can’t say she is older/younger, etc…It’s just her. Soooo, we are left not knowing how old she is or who she is writing to and can only guess if it is before she came back to him or a future scene in the book we haven’t read yet. I was really hoping this reference to his dream describes what he saw before she came back to him in Voyager, but after seeing some of DG’s comments on the way this next book is shaping up, I think we will be left dangling from a hangmen’s noose…just barely breathing till the next book comes out!!! (NT) -- Mitzi, 23:34:05 10/22/08 Wed
      • I agree 100 percent. I for one can't wait for each book to come out, but I know when we do finally get to the last one, I'm going to be torn between wanting to read and not wanting to, for fear of what happens. My biggest fear is that she has to go back for whatever reason, and Jamie's dream was actually of the future and her writing her memoirs or something of the sort. I could truly drive myself nuts in between books. I guess if I get a bit sad though I can just start from the beginning again. (NT) -- Jenn, 00:13:52 10/23/08 Thu
  • Just like a famous story about a boy that is a wizard...I know what happens in the next movie, it makes me sad, but I still wanna see it! Im the kind of person that even if you tell me the end, I still wanna read it for myself. Even more so if it's DG...I guess that is a backhanded way of saying she's an awesome writer :D (NT) -- Celesteblue, 19:33:47 12/22/08 Mon

• A warning about ECHO -- Karen Henry, 06:34:39 05/19/09 Tue
  Diana posted (not for the first time, either!) a rather strongly-worded warning on Compuserve yesterday,
  
  "Well, at least until the book is out, you can't peek at anything I don't want you to see. After that...well, all I can say is, if you read the last page of ECHO first, You Will Regret It."
  
  And then when someone speculated on appropriate theme music to go with this warning, she suggested the theme from JAWS(!)
  
  Please pass this warning along to any fans you know. Whatever you do, DON'T read the last page of ECHO first!

• Drums of Autumn thoughts -- gstanley, 06:25:16 04/14/09 Tue
  I am rereading the books in anticipation of Echo in the Bone's arrival. I am just past the part in Drums where Brianna reveals her pregnancy to Claire and Jamie sells Roger down the river.
  During the conversation between Bree and Claire, she tells her about her encounter with Roger and then about the rape by Bonnet. She seems very concerned that she has disappointed Claire with Roger, but glareingly absent is the hand-fasting with Roger prior to having sex with him. Now this would seem to me to be way up there on the list of things to tell her, not only to let Claire know that she was not just hopping in bed with him, but that she wanted a commited relationship before this action.
  In this context the conversation with Jamie would certianly have been easier.
  I do understand that it serves the action in the book, but seemed to me to be inconsistent with the character, Bree.
  This truly is one of the more gut-wrenching (among so many) and I just had to read one page at a time to ease up onto this part. I, along with all of you guys. cannot seem to get enough of these characters.
  I would enjoy some input here as to why Bree chose to omit this critical issue.

  • Interesting! We always gave a coin in exchange for anything sharp, in Scotland and I've always carried it on out here on Australia where they've never heard of it unless they're other Scottish folk .Though we did it so as "Not to cut the friendship". Possibly from living in more peaceful times! (NT) -- Lolkate, 08:41:40 03/27/09 Fri

  • Andrea, I, too, think it's new, but had the sense of familiarity because of the previously posted excerpt where Bree is starting the job. BTW, to post the link, all you have to do is copy the url, then paste it in the "Type your message Here" space. It automatically creates the link. This info is thanks to Vicki, who helped me the same way just last week. And, if I can do it, anyone can!! (NT) -- Terri C, 15:23:34 03/19/09 Thu
  • I can't blame her for wanting to take a job when they're in that sort of situation, and Roger is lame for not realizing that, but she could have broken it to him better. Didn't they talk about it first? (NT) -- sharon fisher, 19:54:36 03/23/09 Mon
    • Och well remember Roger grew up in the middle classes of the 50s and 60s and it was a fairly new concept, wives going out to work then. By the time I got married in 1969 it was accepted as the done thing mostly. Out here in Australia though women had to leave the teaching profession and some others if they got married! Quaint! Led to rumours about one of my kid's teachers , Miss Paterson, being the news of the school as being pregnant but luckily it turned out she'd been married to Mr Soanso for quite a while! LOL Some years in fact! (NT) -- Lolkate, 08:48:16 03/27/09 Fri

  • Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- ladyphantom, 11:34:01 02/23/09 Mon
  • Well her post on the blog actually says that she is "finishing" ECHO. So I think it's not quite done yet, but close enough. I don't think they have to do too much editing with her books, since she tweaks & corrects herself as she goes along. (NT) -- Tess, 11:48:24 02/23/09 Mon
  • I just put in my pre-order to the Poisoned Pen. I can't wait. I wish I lived closer as Lori there told me that they are going to have a big party that day!!! I can't wait. This is the first time I have ever ordered an inscribed book. (NT) -- Sharon (Ecstatic), 14:04:18 02/23/09 Mon
  • Hi, long time LOL'er, mostly lurk in the past few years. I ordered ABOSAA from the bookstore when I visited there in 2005. Just an fyi--it took a long time to get--a month, I think. It was worth it, but I wanted the book right away. I may do it again! (NT) -- Lady Blair, 11:39:59 03/02/09 Mon
