The Canadians--mindful of having nearly killed me on the last tour--asked for only a couple of extra cities, added on to the ends of the Surrey International Writers Conference (near Vancouver) that I do every October. I'll be going to Edmonton and Victoria, as well as doing a couple of events (one solo, one multi-author) in the Vancouver/Surrey/Langley area. (And doing my usual prison visit! [g])<br /><br /> Next summer is our tri-ennial normal visit to the Fergus Highland Games, though--so we'll be _close_ to Toronto in August--see you then!<br /><br /> --Diana<br /><br /> --DianaDiana Gabaldonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537964955785653500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-22443647521184697372010-09-17T17:33:23.077-07:002010-09-17T17:33:23.077-07:00I can't wait to get my hands on this book!

I don't recall the artist's name at the moment (and I'm not in the office where the postcard is), but it was titled something like, "A study for the Academy."

During your "Outlander in Graphic ...Hi Diana!<br /><br />During your "Outlander in Graphic Terms" panel at Dragon*Con, you mentioned that you saw a nude painting (or sculpture?) that made you think "that is what Jamie would look like naked." You said you sent a photo to Mr. Nguyen for inspiration when drawing Jamie's behind. I meant to ask you which painting/sculpture you were referring to when I stayed around to get a photo/my book signed, but I was too starstruck and I completely forgot :)<br />I would love to see the real-life inspiration for Jamie's naked backside!<br /><br />As a side note, you were the reason I decided to attend Dragon*Con and it was really exciting to get to meet you! I actually went to the panel that was scheduled for Monday and the Dragon*Con employees were completely clueless as to why you weren't there. I wish I had checked your blog prior to attending since you announced that you wouldn't be there.<br /><br />--BriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-76643425289226379112010-09-13T07:27:52.359-07:002010-09-13T07:27:52.359-07:00Christ on a crutch...whoo! *fans self*Christ on a crutch...whoo! *fans self*Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861575260847050598.post-28859171918735480172010-09-11T21:03:02.915-07:002010-09-11T21:03:02.915-07:00Love the fiery mountain on the book cover, sucha g...Love the fiery mountain on the book cover, sucha great detail.<br /><br />Can barely comment on the wedding night scene, it's so beautiful - I have seen it in my imagination since 1991, and this is so spot on!

Your comment, above, is to the point. ...Dear Diana,<br />Your comment, above, is to the point. An artist's work is their vision, their interpretation of a scene. Are Renoir's poppies or Monet's waterlillies less beautiful for their _impression_ of them, rather than a realistic interpretation? Hoang's illustrations are beautiful, continuity errors, marginal deviations, and all. And though this will be the first GN I've purchased, I've had it on order for months! I so enjoy your whole series, but Outlander has remained a particular favorite, so I am really looking forward to this re-interpretation. Don't let me get started on my admiration the series, or I will embarrass myself and possibly, you. I will not admit to how many times I have re-read each tome (something I am want to do with my favorite authors, of which you are number one).<br />Please give advance notice of when you will be in the Dallas area....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01331180306478877760noreply@blogger.com
