Ah, --- the "Outlander" Series!!!...

Yes, --- he IS the King of Men... What romantic woman doesn't lust over Jamie Fraser?!... As an author I KNOW what it's like to create a fictional character who is of such life force that he/she practically lives, as that character's life unfolds, becoming more and more evolved and involved, having adventures, having friends, having relatives, traveling, --- developing. Diana Galbadon created an astounding portrayal of the traditional hero when she made Jamie Fraser because he truly touches the heart. Not only is he strong and brave, but he's also tender. Jamie's humanity comes through, always. He's the sort of guy you can't get out of your heart and don't want to. (Sigh.) I'm enjoying the T.V. series on Starz, after reading almost all of the novels. I'll be reading the 9th one. Diana Galbadon has promised to write a 10th, which will end her epic saga. I have the greatest respect for her as a storyteller. Bravo!!!...
