    Lunch with Diana Gabaldon

    Diana Gabaldon, best selling author of the Outlander series, is visiting New Bern for a literary symposium and the Scottish Heritage Society was fortunate enough to get her to join us for lunch.

    What a wonderful speaker and an entertaining discussion about her books. She kept us enthralled for one hour!

    Who could ever forget Steve?

    I am glad you had a great time with a wonderful writer, and you probably made her day, too....lol
