“Technicalities” (Book Nine)
Below is an excerpt from Book Nine of the OUTLANDER novels, which I am currently writing. Note that there are SPOILERS…
“What do you mean, I can’t? Whose business is it whether I renounce my title or not?”
Uncle Hal looked at William with an affectionate impatience.
“I’m not speaking rhetorically, blockhead. I mean it literally. You can’t renounce a peerage. There’s no means set down in law or custom for doing it, ergo, it can’t be done.”
“But you—” William stopped, baffled.
“No, I didn’t,”...

Yay! Keep it coming, Diana! Did they really use the term blockhead in the 18th century?

Yeah, as of the 1540s or so.
Love it! I'm so happy that the serie continues! Thank you very much from Germany!
I want to read the post but I need to finish the eight book first, I don't want to read any spoilers.
I love the interactions between Lord John and William
No more appearances Diana (now that I saw you), you have to work on book 9.
Hurry up, i can't wait much longer!
Not sure about this yet. Will need to read more about it before passing judgement.
Done, I finished the 8 book, now I am waiting form more, Diana, thanks for introducing me so many wonderful people
I haven't read Book 1 yet but I am looking forward to it. I guess you can say my interest was peaked when I watched the series. It was great!
What was the name of book 8..I read all of the highlander I thought.can't wait to read more..
I cannot figure out why I didn't read it when it first came out. I guess I saw how thick it was and stopped myself from purchasing it.

My dad read it and when I asked him how it was, he replied "Eh, it's alright"! Alright?!!
My favorite books ever! I've read them all and can't wait for the next book. So glad the series is continuing. I love the Starz series. You are a very unique writer.
Your ability to create thoroughly intriguing ancillary characters is one of your great gifts to us. Thanks
When book #9 is released I will consider it a longed for gift!
I am really glad that more is coming,,but please don't hurry too much,,make it just as realistic,,love the way you write and I have notice for some writers,,their book will be thrilling,,I am into it big time,,then they put a ending that either don't fit or leaves you guessing.Merry Christmas,,Diane,,to you and yours
