Tryon Palace and Alamance Battlefield Events With Diana in April!
Would you like to tour North Carolina’s historic Alamance Battlefield with Diana Gabaldon in a small group, and hear her read from THE FIERY CROSS on the site? Hear Diana speak on the lawn of Tryon Palace, another real place that appears in her novels? Attend a special formal dinner in Diana’s honor on the palace’s lawn? Or hear Diana speak and answer questions from the audience at the Paramount Theatre, with an optional book signing afterward? If so, you’re in luck!
Diana Gabaldon will be the guest of honor in a series of four public events celebrating the Outlander novels and North Carolina history from April 26th through the 28th, Friday through Sunday, all hosted by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Tickets to attend the four different events over three days are sold separately and range from just $25 per person (for Diana’s Q&A session with the audience on April 27 outdoors on the Tryon Palace lawn), to $300-$450 per person for tickets to events such as the formal dinner at Tryon Palace or the Alamance Battlefield tour. Or hear Diana speak and answer questions at the Paramount Theater ($50 per person), and a book signing with Diana to follow ($50 per person), where you can meet Diana as she signs your books, and have an optional photo with her taken on your device. (Proceeds go to support groups for these historic sites, per the N.C. organizers.)
Tickets for all of the events went on sale online on Monday, March 18, including the two events at Tryon Palace, the Paramount Theatre events, and the Alamance Battlefield tour and brunch with Diana. Details of all four events and links to ticket sales are listed on Diana’s official appearances page at:
www.dianagabaldon.com/appearances
These events may sell out very quickly, especially since Diana is travelling much less this year, so please plan accordingly. Proceeds will benefit North Carolina historic site support groups. Please check Diana’s appearances page and the event host sites frequently for updates and any changes.
Note that ticketing details for the Paramount Theater events have changed slightly, and details are listed on Diana’s appearances page.
Thanks to Dana Liberty for sending an email to Diana’s Webmistress that pointed out a typo in this write-up! The description used to mistakenly say ‘June 27′ for the Tryon Q&A instead of ‘April 27.’ The Webmistress must have been tired when typing, her only excuse, and she doesn’t want anyone to show up two months late. <g>

Book Nine of the Outlander Series (“BEES”)
