A Plague Of Zombies: An Outlander Novella - Plot & Excerpts
To be honest, once I started doing “bulges” (that is, shorter pieces of fiction) involving him, I just looked at which year it was and then consulted one of my historical timeline references to see what kinds of interesting events happened in that year. That’s how he happened to find himself in Quebec for the battle there. In terms of this story, though, the impetus came from two different sources, both “trails” leading back from the main book of the series—Voyager, in this case. To wit: I knew that Lord John was the governor of Jamaica in 1766, when Claire met him aboard the Porpoise; it wasn’t by any means impossible for a man with connections and no experience to be appointed to such a post—but it was more likely for a man who had had experience in the territory to which he was appointed. “Plague” is set in 1761, and is the story of how Lord John gained that experience. I knew also that Geillis Duncan wasn’t dead and where she was.
