  1. I found my Fraser back in October 2011. We had a momentary flirt on the bus (he was driving). I didn’t see him for two weeks but then we connected again! He was driving the same route. I did not expect to see him again. It was then (Now early November) I went six stops out of my way to give him my name and number. The next day I got a text from him, though I didn’t know it at the time as the first half didn’t come through. After coming very close to biting his head off, but not, we planned to met the day after next for coffee.

    That night I was on my way to knitting group and trying to avoid him, caught the bus he was driving. He was running late (deer in the headlights for me). We chatted the whole way into town.

    November 12, 2011 we went on our last first date.

  2. Met mine the moment he stepped off that bus from a marine deployment. We got married a couple months later at a jail chapel by a divorce attorney. Two days later he left for a year long deployment where we had almost no way of communicating . It was torture not knowing and not being able to search ! he came back and got out , we then moved 24 hours away from everything i ever knew. Children happened, he went to college for creative writing . we moved a million times more. He picked up a traveling job so we only see him once every 5-8 weeks. Our story has never been normal but I’d change nothing about it. Eleven years strong . =)

  3. Loved this book! Had a real hard time putting it down. Didn’t know for sure until the end, but I kinda felt Emma would find out later that Jack was her Jamie when they first met.
    Loved the adventure in Scotland! It’s on my bucket list.
    Keep up the great work!

  4. My Fraser was discovered totally by accident when my friends cajoled me into trying online dating in 2008. On our first date he was shy and quiet and let me babble like a fool. Instead of a more traditional second date he asked me to come over for dinner and I came to find out that this introverted mechanical engineer was a many of many talents. He cooked a fabulous dinner and we spent the entire evening into the wee hours of the morning talking about so many things, our families (both of us having Scottish roots), growing up and what we hoped for in the future and it was then that I told him about my grandfather who had been born in Scotland and how he had really been such a great man to have in my life. I also joked that my favorite author had clearly modeled one of her main characters on my Grandpa Jim. Life with my Fraser was a wonderful romantic swirl and I knew I had found not only someone I wanted to share my life with, he was truly my best friend. three months into our love affair he arrived on my door step in full kilt with tickets to a New Hampshire Highland Games event. He asked me to marry him that cool autumn day and we were married that following spring of 2009. We still attend those Highland Games each year and this year will be special as our five year old daughter will be competing for the first time in the primary level Highland Dance competition.

  5. I met my Jamie when I was 14 in the form of my brother’s best friend. Six years later I drunk-dialed him in middle of the night to confess my crush. Another six years later and we are living our dream on a farm in rural NY. He is a stone mason, with red hair and makes me feel treasured every day.

  6. I met my JAMMF in 1976 at a college fraternity party. I was an 18 year old freshman. We have now been married 35 years and have three children and two grandchildren. He is an amazingly kind, funny and caring man. Heck after I stumbled upon the Outlander book series two years ago he even indulged me and took us on an Outlander themed self drive trip to Scotland in October. I mean seriously? Pretty cool. So I am happy to say I found my Jamie years and years ago before I even knew about Jamie Fraser.
    KC Dyer I loved this book – a fun read with laugh-out-loud moments!

    • Aw, that’s such a great story, Heidi! Congratulations on finding your Fraser! [And thanks for the kind words about the story. I love hearing that it made people laugh!]

  7. Found your adventure truly enjoyable, and was delighted at the end because you ended up with the “Jamie” I wanted you to end up with!
    I’m of Scottish descent. My a Poppy was a MacIlwraith from the MacDonald clan who resided in the Hebrides. I long to walk the shores and moors my ancestors lived and defended. Such a rich history!
    I have my very own Jamie Fraser. He’s part Scot, but to my dismay — wouldn’t be caught dead in a kilt. He’s selfless and fearless like Jamie– caught and redirected the fall of 2 huge trees that were falling on our house during a hurricane; rescued a man who was being beat up by 4 men– by himself and barehanded (I was given a phone, and told to call 911 if it “got ugly” and to drive away), and he’s been a missionary to Haiti 4x building homes for people. He scares the daylights out of me, but I admire his courage and heart. He’s an amazing lover and the truest of friends. Jamie and Claire remind me of us. I’m a sassy Sassnach and strong willed woman. It’s all about the passion in all aspects of life– true Scots!

  9. While I haven’t found my Fraser……yet, this book has inspired me to plan a trip to Scotland and begin my search. I’m only a few years older than Emma and still hold on to the hope that there is a “Jamie” out there for me. My quest will not be squashed! Bring on the kilts!

    (hey, a girl can dream….right?)

    I wonder if they will like my southern accent?

    *Note to self: avoid anyone named Hamish.

  10. I found my Fraser, by the name of Dylan Fraser, when I went to visit a friend one night, who had moved in with he and a few others in a large house on campus near Ohio State. He was very funny the first time we met, and although I thought he was nice, I really didn’t want anything to do with the other sex at the time from a previous bad experience. He persisted though, and after urging our mutual friend to keep on me about going out with him, I finally did about 2-3 weeks after I first met him. Been together ever since. That first meeting was back in 1994. This February, 2/17, we will celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

    I am sure somewhere along the way we are actual kin to Lord Lovat and some of the other clansmen that bring our favorite series life.

  11. While my Jamie is actually a Hamie (he is Mexican and I wanted to notate that in the spelling), I can’t help but recognize the similarities in my two men. Born and raised in rural Mexico, my husband shares all the ruggedness of a Fraser. This includes the stubbornness, the sense of honor, the wicked humor, survival skills, and the love for a singular fat arse.

    We met in Guam and it was, for me, love at first sight. A born leader, his faithfulness in family, a deep love for the bairns and wee Reg (our grand bairn), high expectations of those around him, and a fierceness when prodded continue to amaze me. As I currently read book 5, the similarities continue to reveal themselves, and my deep admiration for the man whose name I took and proudly call husband.

  12. I first met THE Jamie when I was 16. Avoiding studying for finals, I was that desperate for anything but a physics text book to read. Someone had loaned Outlander to my mum. Read it cover to cover in 2 days. My Jamie and I shared English class first year of college. Night before our final exam we ran into each other with friends. I was just leaving and him just starting. At the exam the next day, feeling brave, I asked how his night went and we smiled at each other as the exam started. Wrote my exam and left. He was rushing through his he looked up and I was gone! Handed in his incomplete exam and found me. We’ve been inseparable since. That was 20 years ago now.

  13. I met my “Jamie”, Brian, through the Internet. He was stationed in Guam and a mutual friend had given him my email.

    We started talking through email in August 2000, we moved to phone calls in December 2000. He was due to PCS out of Guam and requested Dover AFB in Delaware. His request was approved.

    He arrived at Philadelphia Airport on 5 April 2001; I picked him up at the airport (first time meeting him face to face), on 29 June 2001 we were married. We will be celebrating our 14 years of marriage in 9 days.

    We made it through numerous deployments and have grown stronger together. I love him with all my heart. He is my JAMMF.

  14. Well I met my Jam…er… I mean JASON… My husband is Jason. LoL As a Pen Pal way back in 1996. A friend of mine had gotten a hand written letter from him in her pen pal circle. Since her husband did not allow her to write to men, she passed his letter on to me. I wrote back to him and formed a friendship. Over the next few months my family suffered a devastating situation that was very hard on all of us. My big brother was diagnosed with Cancer. I came to discover that there was a reason that God had chosen Jason & I to “meet”. My husband is a Cancer survivor also. I fully believe that God chose to give me hope for a future by showing us all that there is life after this horrible disease.

  15. l found my very own Fraser unexpectedly..l was “down with love” after a traumatic short marriage. The first time we met l was not really sober and l didn’t have a jacket with me. He kept me warm with his body the entire night. I fell asleep immediately and when l woke up in the morning l had the feeling I’ve known him forever. We have been partners ever since. And yes, l definitely see him when l read about Jamie and l feel blessed l found such a kind, caring, manly and romantic man.

  16. I have! Perhaps as serendipitous as Claire’s journey, especially as it also involved travel (just not through time). We met through a friend (and if I hadn’t dropped by that night, we likely wouldn’t have met at all!) but were both leaving in a month on separate trips. “Jamie” altered his plans soon after that, though, and flew to where I was, and we’ve been travelling together ever since.

  17. Well, I am proud to tell you I found my Fraser while stopping the whole shit of hoping and thinking about finding a prince. He stumbled right over me and my romantic feelings in the internet. Himself a stranger in Europe he searched for a soulmate and friend to face his life in the asylum case in Germany. I tell you, I never met such an patient and well educated man in my life. After two years of knowing each other, we decided to marry. I will be very happy to spend my days with this handsome, lovely african man. The end.
