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.
If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about this site, please contact me at contact@outlandishobservations.com, or post a comment on my Outlandish Observations Facebook page.
