DIANA GABALDON is the author of the international bestselling Outlander novels and Lord John
Grey series. She says that the Outlander series started by accident: ¿I decided to write a
novel for practice in order to learn what it took to write a novel and to decide whether I
really wanted to do it for real. I did ¿ and here we all are trying to decide what to call
books that nobody can describe but that fortunately most people seem to enjoy.¿ And enjoy them
they do ¿ in their millions all over the world. Published in 42 countries and 38 languages in
2014 the Outlander novels were made into an acclaimed TV series starring Sam Heughan as Jamie
Fraser and Caitriona Balfe as Claire. The series has now been renewed for a fifth and sixth
season. Diana lives with her husband and dogs in Scottsdale Arizona and is currently at work
on her ninth Outlander novel.
