"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......... #Moby #done"

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Please note, this means Diana is done with the writing, but there are still a LOT of steps remaining in the production process, between now and the publication date in June. Copy-editing, reading galley proofs, etc., etc. Still, this is a HUGE accomplishment for Diana, to say the least -- and very exciting for all of us who are eagerly waiting for the book!

Unknown said...: Congratulations to you, Diana. A long road fraught with negative comments, stupid questions and plagiarism from writers with no imagination of their own. It's also my son's birthday. So, best wishes to both of you.; April 16, 2014 at 11:05 AM

About

My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! I started this Outlandish Observations blog in August, 2008, as a central repository for news and information about Diana Gabaldon's books, including new and upcoming releases.

Things have changed a great deal in OUTLANDER fandom in recent years, with many new fans discovering the books as a result of the STARZ TV series. Whether you're a newcomer to OUTLANDER or you've been reading the books for 30+ years, one thing we all have in common is our love for these books and characters and this amazing story that Diana Gabaldon has created.
