I've begun reading Diana Gabaldon's "A Breath of Snow and Ashes" -- part of the Outlander series.

Spoiler alert!

SPOILER ALERT!!!

It's coming up below--spoiler alert!

During the beginning of this book -- and perhaps prior books but I missed it as I skimmed through some of the chapters -- reference is made to a newspaper article that reports Claire and Jamie dying in a fire in their home (info received during back to the future, return to the past by way of the stones time traveling).

In ABOSAA, this newspaper article, which is (I think) dated a couple or few years ahead of where Claire is *now* in time, is always in the back of Claire's mind.

I wonder if this is how D.G. is going to end the series as she is supposedly writing her final book for Outlander, and I would imagine that Jamie & Claire died in one another's arms, from smoke inhalation, and never woke up, and the fire was put out before the bodies became burned.

That device is a literary back door escape hatch that at least one other author used in another series. ...unless D.G. finds some way out of this newspaper information... and she has also said that the final book (Go Tell The Bees) will solve the mystery of Jamie's ghost when he looks up and sees Claire in a window and is seen by her then-husband, Frank Randall.

As for Poldark, a series televised on PBS, I have to tell you that Ross Poldark is another romantic hero, and like Outlander televised on STARZ featuring the beauty of Scotland, then France, so far), the scenery for Poldark (set in Cornwall) is stunning and it's a wonderful story too!

Season Two of Poldark is already being advertised but I'm not sure when it will premier. Of note is that the series does have infidelity in it, so just be aware of triggers, although I myself didn't trigger.

SPOILER ALERT to your SPOILER ALERT from someone who has read the books that follow in the Outlander series (and who is anxiously awaiting the next one...Please write and publish that book soon Diana Gabaldon!)

Spoiler alert HERE

Your theory of the literary back door escape hatch is a good one, but incorrect. As I recall, the time frame of the fire happens in An Echo in the Bone...and the question, "but what about that newspaper account?" is answered...

Better4me is correct... .

And I'll say no more!

Must. Read. FASTER!

Thanks!

Does anyone know when the next book in the series is coming out ?

No date yet on Bees but she had said that it's not the last one. They're will be a book ten and she thinks that's the last one. I'm hoping we get Bees in 2018.

The next book is taking forever. Purely selfish, but I always hope my favorite authors don't get in a car wreck or anything before the next book comes out in a series.

I'm with you notfeelingloved DG had always she knows how the book is doing to end I've always secretly hoped that in her will assuming she has one or at least instructions somewhere that the ending and the explanation of Jamie's ghost is released heaven forbid anything should happen.
