During an interview with Good Reads in 2014, Gabaldon was asked: “Do you already know how it will end, if not how exactly you’ll get there?”

To which she replied: “Yes and no. I do know what the last scene is, because I wrote that about ten years ago.

“It popped up in the middle of the night. But it isn’t a plot conclusion; it’s an epilogue. So, in fact, I have no idea where the story is going.”

Outlander book nine Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone is expected to release 2020.
