My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about this site, please email me, or post a comment on my Outlandish Observations Facebook page.
Great News On Official Announcement!!!
I ran across a fun Outlander Link and thought I'd pass it along to you. It is called Jamie-isms and what I like about it is that you can quickly read some of Jamie's quotes from all the books (just scroll down to bottom of page and select the book you want). I'm going to try to post the link so you can take a look.

I think this was created as part of the LOL site, but I've never seen it before (I don't think it's on their main page and easy to find) and thought if was pretty fun and maybe something that other Outlander Fans would enjoy as well. It's a great link for a Quick Jamie Fix!!!
Also saw this fun video called "Chilli Pepper Pipers" that is very good.
