Outlander Book 9: Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is coming along nicely.
In 2016 Diana Gabaldon shared the title of book 9 from Outlander: Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone (aka BEES).
Since then Gabaldon has been busy finishing up writing and editing the latest Outlander book. Part of that process is titling the chapters. She’s sharing some of the titles names of the chapters for BEES.
[***SPOILER SPACE *** in case some people think the titles might give anything away. But she doesn’t think so…?]
SECTION I: A Swarm of Bees in the Carcass of a Lion
CHAPTER 1: The MacKenzies are Here!
CHAPTER 2: A Blue Wine Day
CHAPTER 3: Meditations on a Hyoid
CHAPTER 4: Home is the Hunter, Home from the Hill
CHAPTER 5: Dead or Alive
CHAPTER 6: Visitations
CHAPTER 7: Animal Nursery Tale
SECTION II: No Law West of the Pecos
CHAPTER 8: Lightning
CHAPTER 9: Erstwhile Companions
CHAPTER 10: What Is Not Good for the Swarm Is Not Good for the Bee (Marcus Aurelius)
CHAPTER 11: Mon Cher Petit Ami
CHAPTER 12: The Hound of Heaven
CHAPTER 13: Reading by Firelight
CHAPTER 14: Duck, Duck, Goose
(Disclaimer from Gabaldon: Chapter titles sometimes change—if she thinks of something better, she says she does all the time – so there’s no guarantee that this is the final list – but the Section is assembled.)
There hasn’t been a publication date for BEES yet. Probably some time in 2019. We’ll keep you posted on the release date.
Gabaldon has shared a lot of excerpts, aka “Daily Lines” for BEES. To read them go here and click the title you’d like to read. (They’re listed on the right hand side of the page)
It looks like Outlander Book 10 is in the works. We’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled for that.
I’m fairly new to Outlander and I’ve fell down the proverbial rabbit hole. I’ve fallen in love with Jamie (Sam Heughan), Claire (Caitriona Balfe), Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin). Even Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix) hold a special place in my heart. I’m excited for BEES to be released.
