Karen Henry said...: Vanilla:

He's the hero of Diana Gabaldon's OUTLANDER series. 6'4", red hair, amazingly good-looking, great in bed <cough>, basically, irresistible to Diana's female readers (and there are a LOT of them!)

There's a graphic novel coming out on Sept. 21 called THE EXILE, in which Jamie has a major role. Check out Diana Gabaldon's blog for pictures.

Shelly-Lynn said...: I found your blog a few weeks ago and have so enjoyed it! I only recently (this year) found the Outlander series. Now I have read them all and don't know what to do with myself. :)

One of my friends linked this story on Facebook and I couldn't help but think that this man is a modern day Jamie Fraser, sacrificing his life for his wife and unborn child. (http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/39146785/ns/today-today_people); September 14, 2010 at 10:12 AM

So glad you've been enjoying my blog!
