So glad to have stumbled on your blog, very inspiring. Now I have url envy. *Great* another thing to put on my to-do list! How many lives do we get anyway? That’s why I love to read – many lives to live in a conveniently portable storage case.

I hate this waiting to find out more about your wonderful characters

Bemboka, New South Wales, Australia

I live in a town not unlike Paradise in a lot of ways, from the topography to the intolerance, even some of your characters have ‘twins’ in my town. Unfortunately there’s no Nathaniel or for that matter Liam amongst the male population!
I’m killing two birds with one stone here in that I’m entering a competition to win a book I’m desperate for, AND I get to congratulate you on your wonderful writing.
I stumbled across ‘Into the Wilderness’ some time back and frankly, I haven’t been the same since!

Don’t tell us anymore about the books. I don’t want to know anymore about how many years the story jumps ahead and picks up. Just make the earth go around the faster!

Just recently discovered your books and devoured the first three in the series. I’ve already pre-ordered the book, but if I won the autographed copy I would be thrilled! Love your blog too, it’s become a daily distraction for me:)

Looks like you’ve got quite the turnout for this contest. I’m entering for the fun of it, but even if I do win, I’ll still be in line to buy a copy the day it is released. Just quirky that way.

Thanks Sara!

I have read all your books I could get my hands on (Sara’s and Rosina’s) and enjoy them immensely. It was gratifying after reading James Fenimore Cooper’s work in high school (years ago) to finally “know” what happened to Hawkeye. Thank you.

Thank you for a great series of books. I have thoroughly enjoyed them and am trying to wait patiently for Fire Along the Sky.

I’ve read the rules for this contest and I agree to them. I will email you my personal information.

I’ve bought all your books in hardback, on the date they were released. I must admit, I read Into the Wilderness first just to get a glimpse of Jamie and Claire. It was truly a visceral experience. But, by then I was totally involved in YOUR story and have reread ITW many many times. So happy to hear there are more coming. I just discovered your blog, so now I’m off to read the excerpt. Thanks for indulging your fans.

Wow – how many Auckland NZ fans have you got out there?! Maybe we should set up a book club for the sole purpose of oohing and aahing over this new instalment! Can’t wait for the book to hit the shelves (should I not win!). Hope I don’t drive the local store too nuts with checking on its progress making its way down under.

Your books are wonderfully written with amazing characters! I’m in the process of rereading the first three books. I’m in the middle of Dawn on a Distant Shore right now. Watched Last of the Mohicans again last night. I’m counting down the days until Aug. 31 when I can read Fire Along the Sky. Hope that one day there is a prequel. Would love to hear Dan’l and Cora’s story.

Dashing into the bookstore, I grabbed Into the Wilderness the day before my knee surgery. It had just come out in paperback, and intrigued me deeply, knowing I had a long recovery. I have since started many family members and friends on the Wilderness series. Looking forward to Fire in the Sky. Thanks for such a terrific series!

I have just finished Dawn on a Distant Shore and about to rush out and buy Lake in the Clouds. I am so glad that I looked on this site to find the name change as I would have been looking for Hidden Wolf and been very disappointed.

I have to say that apart from Diana G’s books these books actually make you feel a part of. What a fabulous journey we are taking and all because of you. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your gift

I read ITW in two days last week. I did nothing else, and there were important things to do (oh well). I’ve since read LITC. DDS is not in the shops at the moment. I love the world you’ve created. I hope to see the new book come to New Zealand. Chances are good. There’s only 4 million people all up in NZ and the per capita response from us has been pretty impressive.

Now i know what im about to say isnt really fair to everyone else. I was lucky enough to get an advanced reading copy of FIRE ALONG THE SKY and i have to say : Sara, you have yourself another fan. As soon as i finished FATS (*giggle* at the acronym) i went out to buy the first in the series. I know im gonna get through your books rather quickly and then i’ll have to suffer along with everyone else til your next book comes out. At first i was apprehensive about the book when i saw that you included a list of all the characters in the book. Im glad that it was alot easier to follow than i thought.
Keep the great books coming.

Your 3 Donati novels have been great. I’m looking for the Lippi novels now. You info about using the Cooper Leatherstocking Tales led me to read all 5 of them. I found the parallels in Into the Wilderness and his The Pioneers wonderful. I’m hoping you’ve used some of his The Prairie as part of Fire Along the Sky. I think he’d be honored with such a tribute!

Well, after chomping at the bit waiting for the next Gabaldon book to appear in the bookstores, I started frantically perusing the local libraries to appease my historical/adventuresome/romantic/mystical appetite. Don’t ask me what particularily led me to your book, other than it seemed to jump off the shelf at me. Curious at the title,( I had never heard of you before, no offense) I saw Ms. Gabaldon’s praise and without so much as a second thought, promptly checked out ” Into The Wilderness “. That was a week ago and I was not disappointed ! What an absolutely, marvelous book. I fell under it’s spell immediately. Today I bought your second book and am trying to restrain myself from reading it till the weekend,so I can savour every word of it while we are camping.The setting in upstate N.Y. is very close to where I grew up and you bring back the sounds and the scents of the picturesque land that I have never had a chance to revisit, except in memory, for the last 26 years. On another note, you did me a real favor. My brother had his first son at the end of June. You guessed it, he named him Nathaniel. Myself and the rest of the family were busy choking on his, actually his wife’s choice of a name. Didn’t go over big. I kept thinking that that name was meant for someone from the Revolutionary War. Now thanks to you, I have a strong affinity for his name. I hope my nephew will grow up to be a man of honor like your Nathaniel,and enjoy a life filled with excitement and adventure. Perhaps when he gets older, I will share this little secret with him! I’ve read the rules to this contest and agree to them. WRITE ON! Contact info e-mailed to Sara.

I have read the first two books and they are both so refreshing. I love being taken to another time. I like that Nathaniel and Elizabeth are so strong in their relationship in every way. Times were so hard on men and women back then. I like that with all the difficult times they share they are true to each other.

August finally arrived after a long wait for your new book. I opened you website this morning and now realize it will be the end of August before the book will be released, so I have to wait awhile longer. The wait will be worth it, I am sure. Thanks for such great characters and stories.

I bought your first book at the bookstore because the salesgirl informed me that you mentioned Claire and Jamie Fraser. I fell in love with Nathaniel and Elizabeth immediately, and was warmed when you mentioned Ian and Claire…I was excited I “knew” them!! I read the Into the Wilderness and the day I finished I went online and ordered the next two! Thank you and can’t wait for the paperback edition!!

I’ve enjoyed browsing your blog, but it was your willingness to wade into the fic canonization thread at Frell Me Dead that motivated me to enter this contest. Now, reading the comments and seeing that your historical fiction is in the same vein as the Outlander novels, I’m beyond excited.
