An Outlander Fansite
It’s here, it’s here! The Outlander movie (even though it’s a show) tie-in edition is now available as a trade or mass-market paperback, wherever books are sold. I know we all have every conceivable version of the book (hardcover, paperback, e-book), but this is the first cover with Sam and Caitriona on the cover as Jamie and Claire, in a production still that Herself picked out…well, herself. Pick it up online or in stores now!
In their latest on-set interview, Access Hollywood talks with the Outlander cast about which Gaelic words they find the sexiest.

ABOUT: The “Outlander” series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. The series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s international best-selling books by Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation”), follows the story of Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe), a married combat nurse from 1945, who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743. Upon her arrival, she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. But when she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate relationship is ignited. Now, Claire’s heart is torn between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
“Outlander” premieres Saturday, August 9 at 9:00 pm ET/PT exclusively on STARZ and is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining & Supply Company and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Which Outlander scenes are you most looking forward to seeing photos from?
Last night, the Pasadena Hilton and Vroman’s Bookstore played host to an author Q&A and book signing with Diana Gabaldon, who was on tour to promote Written In My Own Heart’s Blood. Diana got up on stage and spoke to fans for over an hour, then headed over to sign all of our books. And by that, I mean graciously signing and taking photos with all 650 of us fans in attendance. I’ve included a list of some interesting tidbits from the event, along with some photos of Herself. A big thank you to Diana for a wonderful speech last night, and for taking the time to have a moment with us all!
Some highlights from the signing:

EW.com has a new interview up with Diana Gabaldon, in which Herself discusses the books that have been essential in her life so far.
It’s always great to see what books one of your favorite authors loves 🙂
Read the full interview HERE!
Do you read your books post-publication?
Absolutely! It wasn’t a Book when it left my hands, and it’s a huge thrill to open the package and find one, all fine and crisp and smelling new. I carry it around for days, fondling it at stop-lights and reading it in lines.
What are you reading right now?
Oh, let’s see… Hunting Shadows by Charles Todd and Deanna Raybourn’s City of Jasmine and rereading Shilpa Agarwal’s Haunting Bombay.
In a new chat with Interviewing Authors, Diana Gabaldon talks all about Written In My Own Heart’s Blood, her work schedule, and the upcoming TV show on Starz. Click here to read the full interview, or listen to the audio version on Interviewing Authors.
Tim Knox: If you were just emerging as a writer today with the internet and self-publishing and everything that’s going on, what would you do differently if anything?
Diana Gabaldon: Really nothing. It’s just that there are many more avenues of social media that you can exploit but I used the CompuServe literary forum in exactly the same way I use Facebook and Twitter these days. I still actually have the forum going on.
Though these days it’s just kind of my personal hangout rather than promotion. It’s quite small by comparison with the Facebook. I’ve got something like 300,000 subscribers on Facebook and whenever I discuss the TV show the reach goes up to 2.5 million so that’s kind of the big thing.
For those of us not lucky enough to attend this past weekend’s Outlander fan retreat in Washington, Random House has now posted the video of Diana’s entire keynote speech, which you can watch HERE. Be sure to fast forward to about 1:22:00 to start the video.
Be sure to pick up a copy of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly for a sneak peek at Outlander. The June 13th issue of the mag features Outlander as part of their Summer TV Preview, with a special look at how producer Ronald Moore brought the pivotal time-travel scene to life.
We’ll update this post if/when the article becomes available on EW.com.
PopSugar has posted a new video of their visit to the set of “Outlander” in Scotland, which you can check out in the clip below!
