Sassenach Tales and BEAUtiful Beginnings

Greetings everyone!

I’m Nadine, one of the newest interns at Beaufort Books. Keeping with the Beau name tradition, I’ll be going by the pseudonym, fittingly enough, Claire Beauchamp for the remainder of my time here.

                       Also known as H.S.I.C. (Head Sassenach In Charge.)

As you can probably tell, choosing the name was a no-brainer. Beau is coincidentally enough already a part of my leading lady’s name and Outlander by Diana Gabaldon is one of my favorites. There’s so much I can say about the book series, about Claire, but we’d be here forever.

                                         (Cue random break into song.)

If you haven’t read it or even heard of it, I highly recommend changing that (or at least checking out the show.) Gabaldon wrote the first novel of the series in 1991, and recently the books have been adapted by Starz into a hit television show (that to date has remained pretty faithful to the books I might add.)

For my fellow reader that’s into historical fiction sprinkled with a heavy dose of time travel, this series is for you. Add in the beloved Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser and you’ve got yourself an adventure that will leave you reeling (too often) after each book.

Well that’s enough gushing and fangirling for now, so until next time,

-Claire BEAUchamp
