Michael, thanks to you I have been reading nothing but Diane Gabaldon this month! Devoured Outlander, went on to Dragonfly in Amber and am getting close to finishing Voyager and have a copy of the next one on its way to me. THAT one will likely have to wait a bit as I am committed to writing a 50,000+ word novel of my own in November!:-)

In between I am up to the 6th book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Series and have a new John Lescroart to read. All else waits for Gabaldon!

ard, I've just finally ordered a copy of that book from Amazon. If you have a hardback of it, I'd suggest hanging on to it; they are pricey! I am really looking forward to reading it, even if I find some of my ancestor's slaves may have been Irish. (It would be ironic as we've a mix of all three, Irish, Scottish, and English, in my heritage.) The records say he left Barbados to be the governor of the Carolinas and took several hundred slaves with him.
