I Dun Been Kilted: Claire Goes Both Ways

Well hello there, friends! I trust you've had a week to adequately, ahh. . . review the material from last week's episode.

You know, for the purposes of art.





Moving on. I admit that, based on the title, I thought that many Outmander's wishes were about to be granted as Claire played both sides. After I realized my, ah, interpretation was incorrect, I made peace with the actual plotline and moved on after some quiet sobbing.
We begin our travels this week within the friendly confines of the Scott...

VLOG HAS LANDED! SEE MY MUG IN MOTION!

I discuss books, ghouls, roadside *critters*, and why you shouldn't trust people you meet in the parking lot of Dairy Queen.
Take a gander. Or a goose.

And of course, we're three days away from the new release! You can pre-order here, if you can't stand the wait.

Cheers,
Terry

I Dun Been Kilted: Nothing New Happened Whatsoever

Oh, hi. What's new? Nothing here, busy weekend reviewing some tax policies that have troubled me for quite a while. I just cannot fathom how to logically claim certain business--


So there was a wedding, eh?

And did it meet your exacting standards?

I surveyed one hundred ardent female fans of Outlander, and oddly enough, not one of them answered their phone. It was as if they were intentionally avoiding me!


I'm a huge fan of timelines that seamlessly transport the viewer (or reader) along a non-li...

Copy Zero: Proof Copy Arrival.

This is the kind of sight that takes my day from good to great.


Months of work by the team, and it all arrives in an innocuous package. 
Pre-orders are available in both Kindle and Print formats.

Have you ordered yours?

Cheers,

I Dun Been Kilted: To Dance With the Devil

We're going to want to stretch a bit for this one. Perhaps some deep knee bends. A few jumping jacks. Then, we can all settle in and let our feeling for Black Jack flow. Even from the preview, I knew that something like this was likely:


Wow, the smugness and entitlement of the Redcoats is rather hard to take, isn't it? Less than four minutes into the episode, I found myself wanting to kick things. Like, many things. The introductory scene of the British commander certainly didn't seem to help...

I Dun Been Kilted:A Squirt of Rent Edition

I apologize for the blog running later, I'm recovering from a pie and cake induced birthday coma. I emerged from said coma to watch Outlander, thank the stars I live in the modern world, and eat some blissfully urine-free cake, all within the span of an hour. But first, a word about Dougal:


And while we're at it, let's address the growing conflict between Claire and the other bastion of cosmopolitan manners that is giving her a serious case of travel remorse, as well as the truly jarring momen...

I Dun Been Kilted: Scottish Rave Edition

Good Sunday to All. Or Perhaps Tuesday.

I don't really understand the International Meridian, but whenever you are, welcome.

Let's revisit one tiny little issue from last week. As it turns out, Father Bain was supposed to have an assistant priest for his scene, but the producers could not reach terms with the actor they most wanted for the role.

Moving on to this week!
Almost immediately in the episode, we're treated to a contrasting view (and commentary) on women and how they operate in two diff...

I Dun Been Kilted: We're Not In Kansas, Toto

                                          Welcome back, Heughligans and Caitriots!!

I said it last week, and the week before. The world of 1743 is less forgiving than a scorned wife. Let's put that in perspective before we move on and discuss the episode, shall we?



The concept of  "A Bad...

The Fearless: Book Trailer Edition.

It's here. And I hope you love it.

I have the good fortune of working with great people. My artist, Amalia Chitulescu, and my graphic art specialist, Amber Dalcourt have teamed up to create this amazing trailer.
Let's not forget the voice-- Rebecca Cook is, in a word, stellar. She voices all of my audiobooks as well, and brings these characters and settings into vivid reality.

Have a look, tell a friend, and enjoy.

Things That Go Bump. At The Beach. 

And- as always, thanks for visiting.

HALF MY KINGDOM FOR A REDHEAD!

. . . . Cover model, that is.

We're casting the cover model for my next series. She's young, athletic, the kind of woman who would ride horses. Outdoorsy, redhead, freckles are welcome, and she is tall enough to be seen over the neck of a large dragon. (More on that later.)

We've exhausted our usual sources for models, and it is apparent that there is a dearth of lanky redheaded women in my area. Therefore, I'm reduced to seeking out random gorgeous redheads between 18-25 who look like they can...
