Diana Gabaldon (2014 event)
The Outlander books by Arizona-based author Diana Gabaldon have achieved sales figures that would make your eyes water.

The latest instalment, Written in My Own Heart’s Blood, is partly set in 1778 and features a world in flux. Gabaldon travelled to Edinburgh from Arizona to discuss her epic series in this sold-out event, filmed live at the 2014 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
