To the readers: THANK YOU!!!!
(I modestly note that we are also presently #1 on USAToday’s Bestseller List, the Indie Booksellers List, and several other American ones I’ve forgotten in the excitement—oh, and Bookscan. Also (to date), we are #1 in New Zealand, Germany, Austria and Switzerland (“sweeping the entire German-speaking population of the world!” as the German publisher emailed me).

They are listed on the right of the webpage by temporary title, starting with the oldest one, “Brindle.” (The temporary titles give you an idea of what excerpts are about, and are not used in the book.) The newest excerpt is at the bottom of the list and titled “Claire Does What She Does.” There are a lot of excerpts (“Daily Lines”) to enjoy, around a hundred of them.
New! Season Six To Premiere on March 6, 2022
The long-awaited premiere of Outlander Season Six will be Sunday, March 6, 2022. I consider this a good omen, because I began writing OUTLANDER on March 6, 1988. So I have great expectations for this season.
The new season kicks off with a special 90-minute episode, and will pick up not long after events in the Season Five finale, which as you may remember were kind of traumatic. I think Season Six is the best season yet since Season One, which was very special because it was the first. As to what you’ll see, I leave you with three words:
Christie, Amoeba, and Brown
Diana made this announcement during the virtual ‘Outlander Celebration With Diana Gabaldon’ on November 22, an event organized by Random House Publishing to launch the publication and release of GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE.
