GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE will be the ninth in my series of major Outlander novels. So far, I have posted and released about fifty excerpts from it.

BEES does not have a publication date set yet! I am working hard doing the writing and research for BEES and hope to finish it this year (2019). When that happens, the news will be promptly posted here and on my official social media accounts. Thanks!

On March, 2019, I released a list of chapter titles for BEES.

When Will the Next Book Be Out?

Will there be a ninth major Outlander novel?

Yes… GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE (nicknamed “BEES”) is the ninth book in my OUTLANDER series of major novels, which I am writing (and doing the research for) now.

BEES follows WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD, aka “MOBY,” the eighth novel in my OUTLANDER series, which was first published in the U.S. in 2014.

Excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from—and information about—BEES are posted on my BEES official webpage as they are released. As of March 3, 2019, I have shared almost 50 excerpts from this new book, which are all listed by temporary title on my BEES webpage if you would like to read them. Also, I often post the same excerpts on my official social media pages and accounts.

Do I know exactly when BEES will be finished? No. I am working on it now; my books take at least 3-4 years to research and write. I am hoping to finish writing BEES some time in 2019. No publication date is set yet by myself or my publisher. A publication date will be posted prominently on this website when known.

About reposting my excerpts from any of my books and short fiction, I’d appreciate it if you would not copy the excerpts and post them yourself all over the internet. Instead, please do pass on the links to my excerpts (“Daily Lines”) to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks!

World Outlander Day 2019!

June 2, 2019

Sunday, June 2, 2019 Goodness….it’s #WorldOutlanderDay! People keep saying to me, “Did you ever think this would happen, when you started writing your book in 1988?” Well, no… I thought that I’d write this whatever-it-was for practice, and then write a Real Book—perhaps a crime novel, as that’s what I mostly read at the time. I thought I could probably get that one published, eventually, and if so, then I’d write crime novels on the side (while doing my university job) for about twelve years, at which point I might be good/lucky enough to get onto the NYT Bestseller List. At that point (I thought), I’d quit my job and become a full-time writer. So I thought I’d succeed, eventually—but I sort of didn’t plan on anything like this… SO—THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU! Because we wouldn’t be here without your kind appreciation and support. AND SO….what are y’all planning to do to celebrate #WorldOutlanderDay? a) Re-read OUTLANDER b) Re-read the whole series c) Watch OUTLANDER Season One on […]

Diana's Fan Fiction Policy

You know, I’m very flattered that some of you enjoy the books so much that you feel inspired to engage with the writing in a more personal way than most readers do. Both for legal and personal reasons, though, I’m not comfortable with fan-fiction based on any of my work, and request that you do not write it, do not send it to me, and do not publish it, whether in print or on the web. Thank you very much for your consideration.
