About

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.
