She said: “Less than a week until Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone is officially on sale!
“While we wait, I have some exciting news to share about the virtual launch event on Monday 11/22, about two very special guests who will be joining me – Sam Heughan and Maril Davis.
“I hope you’ll join us next week at the event, to hear the three of us in conversation discussing the new book, the show, and more.”
Ticket holders will need to access the event via zoom, but they will also get the rare opportunity to ask questions of the mind behind the books, and also the face of the Starz TV show.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
