Update to Diana Gabaldon web site
Diana Gabaldon's official web site has been updated with, among other things, a new excerpt from ECHO and some more information on the Amazon pre-order for ECHO. In Diana's own words:
"Amazon.com does not actually have the faintest idea when the pub date is, until the publisher tells them (at which time, the publisher presumably would also tell me, and I would tell you). This does not stop them from listing a date; they seem to think it encourages people to place pre-orders if the listing looks more official. They are, however, pulling these dates out of their collective rear end, for the most part."
