Here's my brave and beautiful elder daughter, Laura, after receiving her round-one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. (She's an OR nurse, so in the first round of distributions.)

I don't know what possesses some people, but the bottom line is that Sam's private life is exactly that. _Nothing_ he does is anyone else's business.

That's entirely true. However, Clan Fraser's motto is, in fact, "Je suis prest". This is the older French spelling, which was replaced in more modern times with a caret ovet the "e" to indicate the missing "s". The Frasers didn't change their motto. Ask 'em.

My best wishes for a good New Year to everybody.
I'm sorry that I have to begin the year myself with bad news; my lovely dog JJ died this afternoon (complications from a freak accident) we buried him next to my garden, where he loved to hunt toads with his brother, Homer.

OK....life gets Weirder by the moment, though usually in a _Good_ way...
So, next Thursday (September 14th), I will be throwing out the first pitch at the Yankees vs. Blue Jays game, at Yankee Stadium! (My father is probably rolling in his grave in agitation, lest I screw up)

@Writer_DG I am now on your last book, Written in my own heart's blood. I am so sad to finish this because I'll be close to the end of the story. Thank you for making me interested in reading again. Its been 20 yrs too long!

Book 9 and Book 10, and the ghost will be the last thing in Book 10.
@Writer_DG The mystery of Jamie's ghost is solved in book 9?
and another question: Is there going to be book 9 part 1 and part 2 or just book 9 and book 10?
Thank you, you will understand our need to know 😆 @EncuentroOutlan @SamHeughan

Merry Christmas! And MANY (manymanmany) thanks to all of the kind people who have been holding JJ and the rest of us up in prayer and light! His surgery went well, and while it will be a long recovery, he's in good shape at the moment--going to visit him this afternoon!

You know I'm nearly finished with the 9th book, right?
I'm on my 8th trip through the lives of Jamie and Claire and have to say it's just as fun this time as the first time. Wish you would continue their journey... I know there's more you could cover. It would even be cool to continue with the story of Brianna and Roger.

Actually, he's dead in at least part of every single book <g>, but nobody ever seems to notice that...
Jamie lived in the 1700s and Claire is in the 1900s when the novel starts, so, well, technically he's dead already when the first book begins.
That and he's a ghost.
Which means he's dead already.
I can't wait for book 10 to read the explanation 👍🏻

He actually does do the finger-drumming and he will indeed shrug his shoulders under stress. He's just a good enough actor that it's part of his character, not just twitches. <g>
