Romance, historical fiction & fantasy writers—tune in to learn how the opening pages of Outlander hook readers into the story. In this listener-voted episode, I team up with developmental editor and book coach Abigail K. Perry to analyze the opening chapter of Diana Gabaldon's genre-defying masterpiece, Outlander, on a macro and micro level. And truth be told, this might be one of our most challenging chapter analyses yet, but you'll learn exactly what makes these opening pages super engaging so you can apply it to your own writing.Here's what we cover:[07:13] An Outlander chapter summary that reveals how Gabaldon masterfully sets up relationship tension and an interesting open loop that becomes hugely important later.[13:05] A chapter one macro analysis using the seven questions from Paula Munier's book, The Writer's Guide To Beginnings, to break down what makes this opening so spot-on (from genre to character to stakes).[39:50] How Gabaldon built Outlander's plot around three major story peaks to keep readers glued to the page. (I found this gem on her website and had to share it with you.)[43:01] A microanalysis of the two scenes within the first chapter using the "5 Commandments of Storytelling" from Shawn Coyn's book, The Story Grid—to learn how to make your quiet moments as compelling as the action-packed ones.[56:33] A discussion on how to write tricky relationship moments and emotional turning points in a way that feels natural and not forced. Whether you're writing historical fantasy, time travel romance, historical romance, or any genre-bending story, you'll get a fantastic overview of how Diana Gabaldon crafted an opening chapter that launched a global phenomenon (so you can do the same for your own novel). Tune in now. 

Happy New Year to all!!!Listen in as Stacy provides some updates about whats to come, as well as gives some general thoughts about season 7B, now that it's aired and we are in an other Droughtlander. Thank you to everyone that listening, writes, comments.

Mary & Blake recap and give reaction to Outlander episode 7.14 - Ye Dinna Get Used To It. In this episode, we praise Diana Gabaldon's handling of the writing, discuss the character development, particularly highlighting Lord John Gray's encounters and the relationship between William and Jane. We also touch on the pacing of the episode, noting that while it may have felt like "heavy lifting" to set up future events, Gabaldon executed it with levity and care. We also debate cheese and mold, share our theories and predictions about where the story might be headed, particularly in regards to the ongoing conflict with the British. Also in this episode: Praise for Diana Gabaldon's writing:  this episode required a lot of "heavy lifting" to set up future plot points, but they praise Gabaldon's execution, noting she was able to do so with levity and care. Analysis of Lord John Gray's character: Lord John's encounters with various people from his past, and how this is impacting his emotional state and allegiances, comparing it to listening to "tortured poets." Appreciation for the Jane-William dynamic:  the interesting relationship between Jane and William, noting how Jane serves as a foil to William's attempts to redefine himself after learning Jamie is his biological father. Speculation on Jane's fate: The hosts theorize that Jane's bold actions, such as killing a British captain, will likely lead to her demise by the season's end, and how this will profoundly impact William. Critique of the Rob Cameron storyline: boredom with this storyline, feeling it was "shoehorned in" just to get Bree back to the 18th century, and lacking a sense of urgency. Appreciation for the Ian-Rachel scene: thel ighting and character dynamics in the scene where Ian teaches Rachel how to do war paint, noting the symbolic significance of the candles behind them. Debate over historical accuracy: Claire's lack of knowledge about historical figures like Charles Lee, and speculate on how Jamie's relationship with George Washington might impact the story. Personal preferences and anecdotes: lighthearted discussion about their personal preferences, such as Blake's dislike for blue cheese and Mary's love of bangs.     SUBSCRIBE TO OUTLANDER CAST: AN OUTLANDER PODCAST Apple Podcasts YouTube Spotify CONNECT WITH MARY & BLAKE  Like Our Facebook Page Join Our Facebook Group Join The #NerdClan Follow On Twitter  Follow On Instagram  UNLOCK BONUS EPISODES, PREMIUM PODCASTS & MORE -- www.JoinTheNerdClan.com Sign up  HERE for Blake's Book Club: DRUMS OF AUTUMN CHECK OUT THE BEST MERCH ON THE PLANET: THE MARY & BLAKE STORE Shop for all of our podcasts, sayings, and listener inspired designs in one easy place.

Bienvenidos a Outlander, al universo de Diana Gabaldon, un universo con viajes en el tiempo y una mujer fuerte e independiente en el centro, con paisajes y música escocesa y mucho sexo de gente guapa y donde conoceremos propiamente a los Fraser, la familia más sangrienta y despiadada de la historia, asesinos a sangre fría en dos eras y continentes diferentes.  Esta semana. Cortamos a negro. Cuando. No vaya. A ser que. Censuralander. El capítulo de la semana ha sido como ver una película descargada de china en la que en el momento que hay algo de folleto cortan a negro. Hemos visto mucho sexo en Outlander, incluso mucho que deberíamos no haber visto, pero sin embargo lo de Lord John Claire era demasiado para las seguidoras de Outlander o simplemente Catriona Balfe está hasta las tetas de enseñar las mismas y ahora que ya es productora ha dicho, fundido a negro y que se las imaginen. El caso que aunque seguimos con el acelerador pisado este capítulo ha sido otra cosa, ya ha habido conversaciones y desarrollo de personajes y no ha sido esa concatenación de eventos a toda velocidad del anterior episodio. Para mí hemos vuelto a los raíles, ¿podrían habernos ahorrado un poco de Roger a favor de dar más aire a otras tramas más interesantes? Pues sí porque cada vez que sale es un poco la pausa para el baño, pero aún así he disfrutado este episodio.

Esta semana hemos vuelto propiamente y hemos vuelto en dos frentes. Primero hemos vuelto a la temporada siete. aunque haya pasado casi media vida estamos de regreso a aquella temporada y no a una nueva, y eso se ha notado mucho en que el aterrizaje de nuevo ha sido un poco convulso el volver a situarnos en el tablero, qué había pasado… no ha sido una temporada nueva sino continuar algo que ya nos habíamos olvidad. Por otro lado el regreso es el de la serie a Escocia. En este regreso, pues yo solo estaría perdido por completo.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Coinneach MacLeod and Diana Gabaldon

The Wicker Man is widely regarded as one of the best British horror films of all time. The strange tale of Sergeant Neil Howie's doomed trip to Summerisle has cemented itself in popular culture since the film's 1973 release, and with it, immortalised several of the National Trust for Scotland's places on screen. Joining Jackie Bird to dissect this cult classic's enduring popularity are film critic Siobhan Synnot and actor Lesley Mackie, who appeared in the original cast as Daisy. Together, they explore the production and legacy of The Wicker Man.

Historical Novel Society Conference 2024! I don't think Diana Gabaldon needs much of an introduction! We were lucky enough to sit down with her at the conference for an interview. Author of the Outlander novels which have also been made into the HUGELY successful Starz TV show, Diana was funny, friendly, generous with her time, and gave us probably the best answer EVER to the question, "What do you listen to when you write?" Do NOT miss this interview! We talked about her planned novel Red Ant's Head, how her lead female character guided her to create the Outlander series, and, of course, Dwarf Metal! https://www.dianagabaldon.com/ Windrose - "Diggy Diggy Hole" -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34CZjsEI1yU Join us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes, a FREE copy of our book Tips for Writing, Publishing and Marketing Your Novel, and more perks. patreon.com/RockPaperSwordsPodcast Find out more about the Historical Novel Society (and become a member) here - https://historicalnovelsociety.org/

Historical Novel Society Conference 2024! Welcome to the first in the series of interviews we conducted with the authors and guests at the HNS Conference at Dartington Hall this year. Keep an eye on our podcast feed AND our YouTube channel for more in the coming days from the likes of Bernard Cornwell, David Gilman, MJ Porter, and Diana Gabaldon. Historian Dr Ian Mortimer spoke to us in this episode just before delivering the after dinner speech at the conference. We chatted about his books (like the Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England), music to write battles to, and an interesting tip on how to feel close to the period you're writing about. https://www.ianmortimer.com/ Join us on Patreon for monthly bonus episodes, a FREE copy of our book Tips for Writing, Publishing and Marketing Your Novel, and more perks. patreon.com/RockPaperSwordsPodcast Find out more about the Historical Novel Society (and become a member) here - https://historicalnovelsociety.org/

Aye lads and lassies and wee bairns (wait, this is no place for wee bairns!) This is our hundredth episode, to our vast surprise, so we're gonna make enemies and talk about Outlander! He's Jamie, the only feminist in eighteenth century Scotland! She's Claire, a time traveling nurse with a boring husband! Buckle up, sassenachs, because if you know this book you know you're about to trip over a giant content warning. The book, the TV show, and absolutely this podcast have a great big neon "sexual assault" warning on them. There is no ignoring the rape in Outlander - it's an omnipresent (and equal opportunity!) threat, it's not something you could just skip a few pages and miss, they probably don't even have a word for it in the way that fish don't have a word for water. Forget it, Jake, it's Outlander. It's traumatic and has real emotional and physical consequences and if it's something you prefer to avoid you definitely should not read, watch, or listen here. There's also some... I don't know how to put this, some spousal discipline? It doesn't really read as abusive, but he does hit her with a belt, which half of us were kinda into and half of us were absolutely not into, so your mileage may vary. And of course there's quite a bit of beating and murdering and witch burning and torturing, just for variety.

Episode Notes Maha and Eda welcome you to the podcast after a long pause with a different subject than usual. With the lack of summer dizis this year they have been enjoying some reading time and this episode is all about their latest favorite genre: fantasy romance or "romantasy". Join them for a fun adventure as they talk about the history, favorite sub-genres and also psychological and sociological reasons why it's been so popular these past few years.

Maas Grimm Diaries by Cameron Jace "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine "Circe" by Madeline Miller EDA's recs: "A Study in Drowning" by Ava Reid "The Bird and the Sword" by Amy Harmon The book Eda mentions towards the end where we say, spicy scenes must feel earned is "One True Love" by Linda Kage. Not half as good as the two books she recommended above but you might want to give it a chance. It's about forbidden romance and does have spicy scenes so please beware if you are underage.

These novels transport readers to different eras, from the elegant ballrooms of Regency England in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" to the tumultuous American Civil War in Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind." Authors like Diana Gabaldon, with her "Outlander" series, blend historical accuracy with compelling characters and time-traveling adventures, while Philippa Gregory's Tudor novels delve into the intrigue and romance of royal courts. These books often feature strong, complex heroines and dashing heroes, navigating societal constraints and personal dilemmas to find love. Through evocative prose and meticulous research, historical romance novels offer a lush, immersive escape into the past, exploring themes of love, honor, and destiny amidst the backdrop of history's most captivating periods.

Up this week is Donna Russo, an internationally best-selling author of 11 multiple award winning historical novels, including “Gilded Dreams” and “Gilded Summers”, a trio of books about Leonardo da Vinci, including “Portrait of a Conspiracy,” “The Competition,” and “The Flames of Florence.” Her newest book, “Vincent's Women” is just out, and tells the story of everyone's favorite tortured artist through the lens of the women in his life. (I have to point out Vincent's women managed to get 4. 3 stars on Goodreads, which is not easy to do. Goodreads readers are very sparing with their five star ratings.) Donna is also an award winning screenwriter, a ghostwriter, and an editor. And she's an actor who appeared in Martin Scorsese's “The Departed,” as well as Showtime's “Brotherhood.” And, she's a painter” I'm so thankful she joined us, because she clearly has a lot of things that take up her time! We covered: How reading “Gone with the Wind” and “The Thorn Birds” as a kid sparked a devotion to historical fiction How a ‘grand pity party' after yet another bad date led to the idea for “Vincent's Women” How meeting Diana Gabaldon (author of The Outlander series and historical fiction OG!) at a conference spurred Donna on Her first gig as a writer–that happened in sixth grade How she sold her first book quickly and easily–and pretty much everything since then has been a struggle The truth about why she does so many different things The brass tacks of how she writes her book, from which chapter she writes first to how she lays out her computer monitor so that her research is always right at hand How she wrote her friends into one of her books The food and drink the fuels her writing Visit Donna at donnarusso.com.

“What really amazed me here was that so many of the authors who submitted stories wrote something completely outside their genre,” reflects best-selling author Douglas Preston, one of the project editors behind the dynamic new collaborative novel Fourteen Days. “This book is full of all kinds of weird stories.”  Yes, it is. And so is podcast guest Douglas Preston, co-author of dozens of New York Times best-selling thrillers written with his longtime writing partner Lincoln Child—a shining example of what it means to write in collaboration. In all, Preston has published 39 books of fiction and non-fiction. In addition to books, Preston writes about archaeology and paleontology for the New Yorker. He has worked as an editor for the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and taught nonfiction writing at Princeton University and is the recipient of numerous writing awards in the U.S. and Europe. He served as president of the Authors Guild from 2019 to 2023. Set in a Lower East Side tenement in the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Fourteen Days turns on a narrative frame written by Preston, with contributions from a disparate collection of contemporary writers, headed by fellow project editor Margaret Atwood. In addition to Atwood and Preston, the novel features the “voices” of Charlie Jane Anders, Joseph Cassara, Jennine Capó Crucet, Angie Cruz, Pat Cummings, Sylvia Day, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, Diana Gabaldon, Tess Gerritsen, John Grisham, Maria Hinojosa, Mira Jacob, Erica Jong, CJ Lyons, Celeste Ng, Tommy Orange, Mary Pope Osborne, Alice Randall, Ishmael Reed, Roxana Robinson, Nelly Rosario, James Shapiro, Hampton Sides, R.L. Stine, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, Monique Truong, Scott Turow, Luis Alberto Urrea, Rachel Vail, Weike Wang, Caroline Randall Williams, De'Shawn Charles Winslow, and Meg Wolitzer. All proceeds from the book will be directed to the Authors Guild Foundation, the charitable and educational arm of the Authors Guild, dedicated to empowering all writers, from all backgrounds, at all stages of their careers.  Learn more about Douglas Preston: Author's Guild Author's Guild Foundation Instagram Facebook Preston & Child website The Lost Time: And Other Real-Life Stories of Bones, Burials, and Murder Please support the sponsors who support our show: Daniel Paisner's Balloon Dog  Daniel Paisner's SHOW: The Making and Unmaking of a Network Television Pilot Unforgiving: Lessons from the Fall by Lindsey Jacobellis Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Libro.fm (ASTOLDTO) | 2 audiobooks for the price of 1 when you start your membership Film Freaks Forever! podcast, hosted by Mark Jordan Legan and Phoef Sutton A Mighty Blaze podcast The Writer's Bone Podcast Network Misfits Market (WRITERSBONE) | $15 off your first order  Film Movement Plus (PODCAST) | 30% discount Wizard Pins (WRITERSBONE) | 20% discount

This month, we're starting Season 3 off with a BANG. Outlander, ACOTAR, Kristin Hannah and Ottessa Moshfegh? Oh yeah, this month is going to be good. We got a little romance for you (it is the month of love after all). We got a little mystery and weirdness for you. We have characters you love to root for and characters you love to hate.  Whatever your taste in books, we hope you find something you're looking for.  Here are our picks for February:  Outlander by Diana Gabaldon - a novel that combines the best of all worlds — historical fiction, fantasy and romance — into an unforgettable ride through the 18th Century Scottish Highlands. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas - a TikTok-famous romance fantasy novel that is a (very) loose retelling of ‘Beauty and the Beast'.  Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah - a heart string-pulling novel about a woman who will do anything to save a little girl's life, while also saving herself.   Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh- a dark and twisted tale about how one girl's obsession turns into an unforeseen friendship with many strings attached. Which book are you most excited for?  ***  Once you're done listening, hop onto our Instagram and TikTok @rwreadspodcast to give us your thoughts on the discussion and the book. We look forward to hearing from you!

Great Scot, could it be true? We're starting off Season 9 with the world-renowned Diana Gabaldon!
