Diana Gabaldon drops the title for 'Outlander' book 9

Diana Gabaldon has revealed the title for the 9th book in the 'Outlander' series that's the basis of the hit Starz TV show.

"Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone." That's the title of the 9th (possibly last?) book in the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon, the basis for the hit Starz TV show "Outlander."

Gabaldon explained on Facebook that "It's a very old Celtic custom (known in other parts of Europe, too) that made it to the Appalachians. You always tell the bees when someone is born, dies, comes or goes - because if you don't keep them informed, they'll fly away."

Season 2 on Starz is based on "Dragonfly in Amber," the second book in the series. From what we've seen so far this season, somebody better tell the bees what's going on before the 90-minute Season 2 finale Saturday.
