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 20+ 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.
