‘Outlander’ author guarantees more books

Outlander is proving to be one of the most successful premium cable series. It’s a good thing that there will be more books on the way. Not that already having eight, that’s right I said eight books already out doesn’t hurt either.

DianaGabaldonOutlander executive producer Ron Moore announced back in October 2013 at New York Comic-Con, and again in July 2014 at San Diego Comic-Con, that he was intending, or at least in his initial planning, to cover roughly one Outlander novel per TV season. In 2014-2015, the Outlander TV series will cover the first novel in the series, also entitled Outlander. In the second series, which was green-lit several weeks ago after just 2 episodes had aired on Starz, the second novel, Dragonfly in Amber, will be tackled.

There are eight full-length novels in the Outlander series to date as I already stated. It’s definitely good news as the TV show isn’t likely to run out of primary source material any time soon. Which is music to the ears of millions that are just finding the series via the hit TC series. Gabaldon as has also amassed a series of novellas that she refers to as “bulges” that further detail the story of Jamie, Claire, and those around them. For those that don’t already know, Jamie and Claire are the two lead characters in this amazing series.

Gabaldon  who has been running here and there with the press whirlwind junket for Outlander about past four months or so, is now back at work on her next novel in the series, title TBA. Gabaldon even released a few sample lines from the work last week on her official Facebook page. She is definitely making her next book a priority stating on her Facebook page:

“So now I’m home–I’m not going ANYWHERE until late October, and then doing only one event each in October, November and December–I’m slowly digging my way out of the domestic debris and wriggling my way into the mysterious mists of Book 9…”

Unlike my other fave obsession Game of Thrones which is rapidly running out of material written by George R. R. Martin {Grrrrrrr}. It’s seems likely that Gabaldon won’t face the possibility that that TV series based on her books will “catch up” to her, and bring the kind of pressure from media and fans that has plagued Martin for years. After sitting through the Q&A with Martin, he seems to be content to write and be creative when the mood strikes him. Having eight books in the bag and only tackling a book a season, it seems that Gabaldon will be able to have some breathing room for a while at least.

Don’t forget to catch up with Outander which is on Starz on Saturday nights at 9pm ET

We also do a recap of the show that is posted every Sunday, but be aware it does contain spoilers.
