Hello. My name is Linda Meyer, and I have begun to write an historical novel based on the life of the Irish revolutionary Michael Collins. I have not titled it as yet, but the working title is simply Mick. This blog will follow the process, the whys and wherefores, the frustrations and delights, the new things I learn about him (or about writing) and the attendant insights. Eventually I may even post chapters so that people can comment and offer KIND suggestions. This is all for today. For you Michael Collins-o-philes out there, I hope you will find this interesting.

This blog is about my writing of an historical novel about the passionate and tragic life and death of the Irish Revolutionary Michael Collins, also known as Michael Sean O'Coileain,1890 - 1922. That nothing like this has been written is simply amazing. I will be exploring the childhood and influences that shaped the man, and how his death impacted those who loved him.
