Guest reviewer Susan Gillmor has written a fun review of <i>Outlander</i> for my website: http://www.HistoricalNovels.info/Outlander.html.
Plus, there's a link at the end of the review to a Diana-Gabaldon-approved picture of what Jamie Fraser looks like. Cuuute!

That is kind of dissapointing to me! I pictured him much more ruggedly handsome than that. That just soo doesn't fit the Jaime I pictured for two months while devouring the entire series!

I'm new here--but with a well-established Jamie opinion!
Hello, everyone! The picture's surprisingly close to the Jamie I imagine, except(!). . . Diana always gives him higher cheekbones and slanted eyes and he'd benefit from a scar or two. And I don't picture him with the Don Johnson/Miami Vice kind of facial growth; I see him either clean-shaven or with a full red beard. But it's a great picture!

Thanks, diamondlil! I'm awaiting Gabaldon's last Jamie/Claire installment with more patience than I managed for the last two. It is nice to meet other fans. I'm still feeling my way through the technicalities of this site--so far so good!
