Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon is the author of the award-winning, New York Times best-selling OUTLANDER novels, described by Salon magazine as "the smartest historical sci-fi adventure-romance story ever written by a science Ph.D. with a background in scripting "Scrooge McDuck" comics."  (The most recent novel in this series, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, has been awarded the prestigious Corine literary prize in Germany for Best Book of 2006.)

Dr. Gabaldon holds degrees in Zoology, Marine Biology, and Quantitative Behavioral Ecology, and spent a dozen years as a university professor with an expertise in scientific computation before beginning to write fiction.  She has written scientific articles and textbooks, worked as an editor on the MacMillan Encyclopedia of Computers, founded the scientific-computation journal Science Software Quarterly, and has written numerous comic-book scripts for Walt Disney.  None of this has anything whatever to do with her novels, but there you are.
