My name is Karen Henry. I discovered the OUTLANDER books in 2006, and quickly became thoroughly addicted! I started this Outlandish Observations blog in August, 2008, long before anyone knew there would be a TV series. Things have changed a great deal in recent years, but one thing we all have in common is our love for these books and characters and this amazing story that Diana Gabaldon has created.

My friend has since passed away & I often wonder what she would have made of the "Outlander" Tv Series; in my heart I KNOW she would have loved it every bit as much as I love it!! Thank You Diana Gabaldon for writing such wonderful, exciting & educational stories! I love every one of the books, so far & each time I re-read one of the books, I always discover things I missed the last time I read them! Diana, again, Thank You, so much!! Grammym
But especially; Congratulations to Diana Gabaldon, for her wonderful stories starting 25 years ago to now have them broadcast onto the Worlds stage in such glorious, visual imagery!! To Ronald D. Moore, for having the foresight to listen to his writing partner, Maril Davis & his very talented costume designing wife, Terry Dresbach! OH, the Wedding Dress, Terry!! Then when Ron collaborated with Bear McCreary & Bear's lovely wife Raya Yarbrough, the "Outlander" music reached an all time high of hauntingly lovely, emotional music!!
Thank you to Toni Graphia, Anne Kenney for writing from a woman's perspective & Ira Steven Behr, Matthew B. Roberts, plus many other writers for putting Diana's words into visual dialogue!
Gary Steele's & Scotland for making the the visual of "Outlander" so outstandingly beautiful! Thank you all for a fantastic Season 1 & 2, I can't wait for 3 & 4!! Job so very, very well done to you all!!
