Release day for the OUTLANDISH COMPANION Vol. 2 and the Official OUTLANDER Coloring Book!
Congratulations to Diana Gabaldon on today's publication of the OUTLANDISH COMPANION Volume 2 (aka OC II) and the Official OUTLANDER Coloring Book!
There's a LOT to absorb in the OC II, and I think OUTLANDER fans everywhere will find that it was worth waiting for. I'm delighted to be able to add it to my collection at long last!

Keren-happuch -- A Welsh kitchen maid employed at Helwater, who carries a message from Jamie to Betty. (A Real Person, named in compliment to my friend Karen Henry, Queen of the Nitpickers.) [SP]And also in the Acknowledgements at the end of the book:
...Karen Henry, Chief of Eyeball-Numbing Nitpickery, who kindly read all of the manuscript pieces for this book, with the exception of the "Cast of Characters" (only Kathy the copy editor had the guts to deal with that one). Her catches and suggestions saved me innumerable hours in the later phases of copyediting and proofreading.That phrase, "Chief of Eyeball-Numbing Nitpickery", makes me laugh, but it's really very apt. Thank you, Diana!! The effort was totally worth it, and I'm so glad I was able to help!
