Diana Gabaldon Australian tour 2009

According to her website, Diana Gabaldon's UK publishers are planning an Australian and New Zealand tour in November 2009.  The seventh book in her Cross Stitch/Outlander series about Jamie and Claire Fraser is due out in late September this year: it's called An Echo in the Bone.

If you don't know this series of historical/time travel/damn-good-read fiction books, you have a treat in store.  Read more here.  I've lost count of the number of pals I've added to the Gabaldon fan base (only two have said it didn't work for them, but most zoom through the whole series with great enjoyment).  The UNABRIDGED audiobooks are great, too (don't bother with the abridged ones, you'll miss too much).
