Well, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is much different than her Lord John Series. Lord John is an 18th century gay man. I've seen small excerpts that she has posted up on the books and writers comunity of the mystery book that she is writing and that is a different stile too. Sorry if this is the book your talking about. I should have said something.

I've just discovered how books written by the same author can vary. To make a long story short, because this discussion should really be on the bookshare list but I don't know how many of you partaking go there, one book I started reading, a second book in a series, caught my interet and I bought it from our used-bok store (10 cents for paperback romances). Because references were made to people and events in the first book, I took it out of the library--but the characters weren't behaving true to character, as it were. It didn't make sense. I tried a few other pages in the middle and end of the book and decided not to waste my time. I went back to book I'd bought and started it, and the characters so far are more defined and behaving and speaking true to their personalities. In the past I've found differences between an author's earlier books and later ones; in some cases the later ones are much better, but in another case she seemed to run out of steam and her characters were more stereotypical and less complex. But never before have I found differences in two books in the same series. I'd have guessed perhaps difference authors wrote under the same name, but that's apparently not the case.

Outlander is the first, then Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drumbs of Autom, The Fierry Cross, Abreath of Snow and Ashes, and the next book will be called An Echo in The Bone.
