    Lunch with Diana Gabaldon

    Diana Gabaldon, best selling author of the Outlander series, is visiting New Bern for a literary symposium and the Scottish Heritage Society was fortunate enough to get her to join us for lunch.

    What a wonderful speaker and an entertaining discussion about her books. She kept us enthralled for one hour!

    Alex - for you, and any others that have not heard of her, here is her website: http://www.dianagabaldon.com/

    The main characters are Jamie Fraser a Jacobite sympathizer who survives Culloden and ultimately gets to North Carolina and his wife Claire who is a time traveler from the 20th century.
