"Virgins" standalone e-book will be published on April 8!



I just discovered that "Virgins" (Diana Gabaldon's story about Jamie and Ian as young mercenaries in France in 1740, before Jamie met Claire) will FINALLY be published as a standalone e-book on April 8, 2016! (That's the day before the OUTLANDER Season 2 premiere on STARZ.)

I'm really glad to see this. We've been waiting a long time! ("Virgins" was originally published in the DANGEROUS WOMEN anthology in 2013.)

Like Diana Gabaldon's other standalone e-books ("A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows", "The Space Between", etc.), "Virgins" will be available for $1.99.

Pre-order links:

Kindle
Nook

Please note, I don't know if the standalone e-book will be available outside the US and Canada.

I hope they'll release the audio version of this story as a standalone as well. I've heard wonderful things about Allan Scott-Douglas's narration of "Virgins" (which is part of the audiobook of the DANGEROUS WOMEN anthology, where this story originally appeared) but I've never listened to it.

    I borrowed the audio book of "Dangerous Women" from my library using Overdrive. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the heads up on the e-book, just preordered mine.

    Thanks, Karen. I do not own a Kindle or Nook, just a tablet. However, I read the comments about "Virgins" on Compuserve, and it sounds like a great story that provides insight into two young men at the start of their life journeys. It made me think of my hubby when I first met him when he was 17. Like Jamie, he was a diamond in the rough .

    Susanlynn, you can get the free kindle app for you tablet or phone and then download and read e-books.
    Or request the Dangerous Women book from your local library if you would rather read a 'real' book

    Karen, I do not comment on Compuserve , but I have been lurking and reading new and old posts for several months. This morning I was reading comments about Laoghaire. Please let Vicki know that I share many of her opinions about this character and that I appreciate her sassy wit. A beau taught me to shoot a rifle when we were both 16. When he unexpectedly dumped me for my friend Ruthie...I did not take one of my dad's rifles and shoot him. I wanted to.... but I didn't. Rock on,Vicki.;)
