When something happens that I hadn't expected. My thanks to Ms. Gabaldon for making these books so addicting! I have never wanted to read this much in my life!

Sara Donati did a good job on "Into the Wilderness" and now I know her 2nd book is out. Thanks again to Diana for providing such wonderful books that I've read and re-read.

My Email: roadreb@netscapeonline.co.uk
When did you first read the series?: I read Cross Stitch (Outlander) about 5 years ago but didn't realise there were more books in the series until last year. I re-read Cross Stitch before starting Dragonfly in Amber this March. I finished Drums f Autumn yesterday. I thought I was a fast reader but obviously not as fast as some!
Which book's your favorite?: Cross Stitch, closely followed by Voyager.
What's your favorite quote?: I'll let you know
When I've re-read all 4 books (and the next two).
Your recommendation of any like authors and/or books: I think those people who enjoyed Dragonfly should take a look at Les Miserables (and I don't mean the musical).
What do you like best about this site?: The fact that I will be able to discuss my favourite books in the same way I can discuss my favourite TV programmes.
What would you like to see at this site?: A picture of the wedding ring.
Comments: When I first read Cross Stitch I was convinced that it had been written by a British author. I was surprised to find out that DG is actually American, but it does become more obvious in the other books. The series doesn't appear to be as popular in the K as it is in the USA, but it really deserves to be. It would be nice to see DG visiting the UK. I'm sure a bit of UK TV and magazine exposure would hook a few people, but in the meantime I will do my best to spread the word. Perhaps Diana would like to do a book signing/reading at the Highland Games in Braemar? I'd love to chat to other Cross Stitch/Outlander fans. I'll be checking the website again very soon.

I didn't want anyone to tlak to me, because I was sooo into the story! I love the way Diana weaves in history, Sci-fiction and romance into one!

box Comments: My younger brother was the one who introduced me to the first book in 1994 when I was overcomed with morning sickness. I was completely hooked. Reading till the wee hours of the morning and continuing thru the day where possible! When the book ended, I felt a complete loss! I just didn't want to be 'detached' from Jamie and Claire. I waited ardently for a really really long time before I could finally lay my hands on the sequel, and ditto for the other two! I'm re-reading Outlander for the fourth time.

box When did you first read D. Gabaldon's books?: Winter of 98
box Which one is your favorite?: Outlander, slightly over the rest.
box Do you have a fav. quote?: When J & C were walking from her sore arse. "Well, I didna think it right to roger you in that state however fierce I wanted to. And I did want to," he added laughing again. "Terrible strain on my natural instincts." And also," I wanted ye from the first I saw ye- but I loved ye when you wept in my arms and let me comfort you, that first time at the Loech."
box Comments: I've been a faithful reader since I was probably 10 years old. Starting with Judy Blume. But never have I wanted to re-read anything before. I just finished Outlander for the second time and caught so much more than the first time. I fell in love with Jamie and Claire all over again. I read it first 2 years ago and can't wait till the next book comes out, so I started it again. Probably will read it another time or two. I am amazed to hear that other people are now thinking in the scottish accent(sometimes talking in it too.)It is just so charming, especially if they're tall and "roy" headed like Jamie. I'm also a Nora Roberts fan and was thrilled to see on her site that she also enjoys Diana Gabaldon, so many more readers may be introduced to Jamie and Claire Fraser.

box Do you have a fav. quote?: anything Jamie ever said to Claire
box Comments: I actually started reading Outlander because my friend said there was a lot of sex scenes and I was lonely... but then I immediately got hooked and read all the other ones in two weeks flat and have reread them again and again since. It's impossible for me to read anything else since because DG is such a great writer, she makes me feel like I'm Claire and Jamie is mine and no other book has ever done that for me. I'm going to go crazy if the other book doesn't come out soon!

box Comments: Born and raised in Scotland (and still living here!), I can tell you that there is no fiercer critic of a book written about Scotland than the native Scot! If the written dialect was incorrect,the book would be dismissed out of hand, or worse, ridiculed. read "Crosstitch" and truly believed the author to be Scottish, or at least a Scottish enthusiast. Many thanks to DG for a wonderful story. However, sorry to disappoint many of you but, as far as I know, there are very few men like Jamie left in contemporary Scotland! Slainte!

box Which one is your favorite?: Outlander & Drums of Autumn
box Do you have a fav. quote?: all the heartwrenching ones by Jamie
box Comments: I started at the end of the series by accident. I picked up DOA from a paperback rack at Wal-Mart. I never quite figured out who Fergus and Ian were or why they were in the story, but I was fascinated by Jamie & Claire and Bree & Roger. At the end of the book I found out that I had missed the first three...so went right out and bought the full set in hardback. Like everyone else, I am impatiently awaiting The Fiery Cross. I find myself scanning the DG website on a regular basis, craving the "quick fix" of a new "spoiler". What a bizarre obsession! Thank goodness I didn't know about the series from the first publication date. At least I got to read four in a row! Although I am a voracious reader, since reading the Outlander series, I find most other authors disappointing. Keep up the good work on your website. It is beautifully done.

box Comments: I've been an avid reader since I was about 10. Never has any story become a part of me like the story of Jamie and Claire. I now go to highland games and listen to celtic music. The story and culture touch a place deep down within me that I call home. My favorite scene is the first time Jamie and Brianna meet. I don't know how many times I've read my books. Often I just pick one up and start reading, I know the stories so well anywhere in the book will do. I just wish all the books could be well over a 1,000 pages they're never long enough for me.
