Diana Gabaldon

Diana Gabaldon fascinates me because she came to fiction by such an unlikely route, a scientist and university teacher who sat down to write a practice novel and ended up creating Outlander, one of the great genre-bending sagas. I love that she refuses to stay in one lane: historical fiction, romance, mystery, adventure, even a dash of science fiction all coexist in her work. The 2014 Starz adaptation introduced her time-travelling Highlands epic to a vast new audience, but the books came first and remain the heart of it. For an Arizona native to conjure 18th-century Scotland so vividly is genuinely impressive.
