Diana Gabaldon and doodle liberation

[Lynda Kamrath]

My husband  is gone to San Diego for a family funeral, and I am at home with three dogs (my two plus a regular boarder).  I also am totally involved in Diana Gabaldon's newest book, Written in my Own Heart's Blood, and spending lots of time just reading.  Yesterday, the dogs were out in the backyard and I lost track of time and then heard Harpo bark at the front door.  After finishing the paragraph, I went to the front door and looked outside, called Harpo, then went to the backyard and discovered they were all gone.  Called again, and they all came running to the stairs below the deck.  When I checked, the workshop doors were open and I have no idea how long they had been wandering the neighborhood.  Harpo knows how to open the latch doors and he opened the door into the shop from the backyard, and then to the outside.  Since no neighbors called me that the doodles were roaming the neighborhood, I hope they were not outside too long, but you might say I was just "encompacitated".  Diana's fault!

Researching the author and series but don't know where to start. Which book came first and does it matter that I go in any specific order? Thanks

[Lori, Quincy & Frankie]

YES- read in order.  Outlander is the first of the series*.  That will likely list the other books in the series.  

Here is the link to the timeline on the author's page.

*(there is a prequel- but I would recommend reading that once you are later into the series)

Thanks Lori, I was confused by publication dates, it seems Fiery cross was published in 2002 and Outlander Novel in 2004. I will start w your suggestion. Thank you.

That might be a second publish?  I read Outlander in the early 00's! here is another tidbit from Diana's website

It's time!  I watched the 101 preview on Saturday on Facebook, and am even more excited about the series.  They have done a great job of making the books into a series (so far) and it will be my Saturday night activity for the next several weeks.
