Town and Country magazine has just posted a slideshow showing exactly where all of Diana Gabaldon's books and stories (including the Lord John stories and various novellas and shorter pieces) fit in chronological order.

This appears to be basically the same list that appears in the Chronology on Diana Gabaldon's website, but I think the addition of the cover art for each book or story makes it easier for people to keep them all straight.

Nitpickers might observe that the list is missing two items: "Past Prologue", a short story written by Diana Gabaldon and Steve Berry that was first published in 2017 (highly recommended!) and the graphic novel, THE EXILE, that was published in 2010. But I'm not inclined to quibble. I think they did a good job with this slideshow, and I hope readers find it helpful.

SEVEN STONES TO STAND OR FALL is a colection of 7 novellas and short stories in the OUTLANDER universe. If you look through the slideshow I linked to from Town and Country, or the Chronology on Diana Gabaldon's website, you'll see that all seven stories are listed individually, in chronological order, starting with "Virgins", which takes place in 1740, before Jamie met Claire.

Looking for OUTLANDER discussions? Check out TheLitForum.com! This is Diana Gabaldon's longtime online hangout, and I have been Section Leader (moderator) of the Diana Gabaldon section on the forum since 2008. Diana is on the forum almost every day, and often responds to questions or comments from forum members, sometimes in detail. You have to register in order to read or post on the forum, but it's free.

I just started the series; I am reading Dragonfly in Amber now. Do you recommend reading the 7 Outlander books first and then The Lord John books? I understand that Claire and Jamie are not in The Lord John books. Seems I should stick to the seven main books before reading anything else, right?

Jeepers, I am just about to sit down and restart Outlander and the rest of the series for the sixth or seventh time! I get to the point where I can barely speak English without a trace of Scots in there!

I have read all the outlander books but none of the lord John or the novelettes. I have just purchased a trail of Fire and was wondering if I should read the four books in the order they appear in the book or read them chronologically as you have shown; the other option is to re-read all the Outlander books again from the start and throw the novelettes in as they come up chronologically. What would you recommend?
Thanks
