Newest Excerpts (“Daily Lines”) From BEES
Have you read my latest Excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from GO TELL THE BEES THAT I HAVE GONE? Here are the most recent:
“Forensics and Shopping”
“Piety,” in celebration of the First Sunday of Advent on December 1, 2019.
“The Baby”
“The Letter J,” in honor of Claire’s birthday.
Three separate short excerpts from BEES together in one webpage.
My blog entry, “BEES Workmanship Example,” from September 2 has a new excerpt in it, and gives an idea of how I edit my writing as I work.
“Cooking Tomatoes”
“Last Music”
“Beautiful”
Note that BEES does not have a publication date set yet! I am working hard doing the writing and research for BEES and hope to finish writing it by the end of this year (2019). After I finish it, then my publishers will decide upon release dates, likely in 2020. Thanks!
On March, 2019, I released a (tentative) list of chapter titles for BEES.

Getting Closer…
As I’ve posted here and on social media, I am getting close to finishing writing and research for BEES, but no, I don’t have a specific date. Soon.
After I have completed the BEES manuscript, a lot of things have to happen with my publishers before it is printed, released, and on the bookshelves for you to buy. Read more about this at:
Brief Explanation Of How Publishing Works, my blog entry from January 5, 2020.
What “Finished” Means To An Author, my blog entry from August 3, 2015, which also has a flow chart of the multiple steps necessary to publish a book once the manuscript is completed.

This is the official website for Diana Gabaldon, bestselling author of the OUTLANDER series of major novels, the Lord John series, and other works.
All first-person text was written by Diana Gabaldon. Text with a third-person voice was (usually) written by Diana’s Webmistress.
This homepage was last updated on Monday, March 3, 2020, at 4:20 p.m. (Pacific Time) by Diana Herself or Diana’s Webmistress.
When Will the Next Book Be Out?
GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE (nicknamed “BEES”) will be my next book, the ninth book in my OUTLANDER series of major novels. It will probably be published some time in 2020.
Current information about BEES is posted on my official BEES webpage, where you may access sample excerpts or “Daily Lines”, also.
BEES will follow WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART’S BLOOD, aka “MOBY,” the eighth novel in my OUTLANDER series, which was first published in the U.S.A. in 2014.
Book Ten
After BEES is published, I will write Book Ten (no title yet), which will be the last book in the OUTLANDER series of major novels that focus on Jamie and Claire. Book Ten will be another Large Novel, so it will take some time (several years at least) to complete.
And I have plans for other projects after Book Ten! Stay tuned…
