Karen Rutledge

Writer

Karen Rutledge is an Obsessenach who found Outlander through the STARZ series in 2016 after, in her words, living under a graduate-school rock through season one and most of season two.

She binged the show, dove into Diana Gabaldon’s books, and fell fast and hard for the world of Outlander. That obsession helped inspire a major life shift: Karen left a longtime corporate career, joined the Outlander Cast fanmily, and moved from the U.S. Southwest to the East Coast to make more space for creativity, travel, exercise, and the people she loves.

Her Outlander Cast writing reflects that same energy: emotionally engaged, sharp on theme and character, and always interested in what makes the series resonate so deeply with fans. This page collects the published Outlander Cast pieces currently visible from her archive.
