Shapes and Themes of My Outlander Novels

Season 6 of the Starz Outlander TV Series
The long-awaited premiere of Outlander Season Six was Sunday, March 6, 2022 at in the U.S.A. on the Starz cable network.
I consider this a good omen, because I began writing OUTLANDER on March 6, 1988. So I have great expectations for this season.
This season focussed on the events in A BREATH OF SNOW AND ASHES, the sixth major novel in my Outlander series which focuses on Jamie and Claire.
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.
The Starz home page for the Outlander TV series is:
