And in the fullness of time, we'll have to do an Outlandish Companion Volume Three to cover volumes nine, 10, and the prequel, but that can wait until I've written those things. "I have the beginnings of that," Gabaldon said, "but I'm not working on it actively at the moment for obvious reasons. So I have actual scenes, things like that."Īs for Master Raymond's story, that's on the back burner for now. And I've just started serious work on it, you might say.
I've been carrying that one around in my head for quite a while, so I know quite a bit about it.
"The other major thing that I'm working on right now is the prequel volume, which is the story of Jamie Fraser's parents, Brian and Ellen," she told T&C. She's also working on a prequel novel about Jamie's parents, and a book about Master Raymond, a time-traveler who plays a small role in the Outlander story. Though book 10 is set to be the final book of the adventures of Jamie and Claire, Diana, who often lets the characters drive the story while writing, recently teased that if. Gabaldon previously shared (and recently confirmed to T&C) that the 10th book will most likely be the end of Jamie and Claire's story-but it won't be her final text in the extended Outlander universe. Trained from childhood as a medieval superspy and courtesan, Phedre works to thwart a complicated plot threatening to unravel her society.This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. As such, courtesans are highly valued members of society, and our heroine, Phedre, has been born pricked by "Kushiel's Dart," a red mote in her eye that indicates an affinity for sadomasochism. This series is definitely more fantasy-driven than "Outlander," but it's nonetheless romantic and filled with minute details about a specific time and place, which happens to be Terre d'Ange, an angelic kingdom whose motto is "Love as Thou Wilt" because all forms of love (physical and beyond) are socially accepted. "Kushiel's Dart: Kushiel's Legacy, Book 1", Jacqueline Carey (Tor Books, 2015) The story doesn't sound sexy, but it is - particularly the tortured-but-epic love between master builder Jack and the strong, independent Aliena. I fell hard for Follett's insanely detailed medieval-set novel about the many players who build a cathedral. "The Pillars of the Earth", Ken Follett (Penguin Books, 2010) Lord John Grey is always a witty delight, and in his series we get to learn more about his past and watch him solve mysteries as he navigates what being a gay man means in the mid-1700s. Any fan of Gabaldon must read the "Lord John" series, which takes a supporting character from her "Outlander" books and turns him into the star.
