Reblogged this on Ana Fraser Lallybroch Blog.
There was no way Sam could answer all those questions at the Outlander page. I found many inquiries quite fascinating! Even if he can’t answer them, I hope he gets a chance to read them. Some of them are pretty funny. Good luck in New York on Wednesday!
Thank you so much Sam for answering all our questions. It was very kind of you to do so. We are all great fans of the series and Diana’s books. Thank you and all the crew for bringing Outlander to life MORE than before!
Although my daughter has never heard of the Outlander books or watched any part of the series, she does live in Boulder, Colorado and is an avid hiker, has done a few 14Ks. I’m sure she would be happy to show Sam around that area and hike with him…plus it would make her mama very happy.
