Outlander the Musical

About a year ago, a lovely man named Mike Gibb came to me in Scotland and told me that 1) he was a lyricist and playwright, with a number of musical theater productions to his credit, 2) he’d fallen in love with my novel, OUTLANDER, and 3) with his friend, composer Kevin Walsh, wanted to do a stage production of “OUTLANDER: The Musical.” As I recall, I laughed and said, “That’s the screwiest idea I’ve heard yet–go ahead.” So they did, and the results were stunning.

THE SECRETS OF PAIN is the latest in his Merrily Watkins series. The Reverend Watkins is an Anglican priest, widowed, with an unpredictable teenaged daughter—and is the official Exorcist (though the Church now prefers to refer to her discreetly as a “Deliverance consultant”) for the Diocese of Hereford. Merrily smokes like a chimney, is having an affair with the emotionally-damaged rock musician across the road, and wrestles constantly with the knowledge that most of the world thinks what she does is irrelevant at best and at worst, insane.
