THE HARP, THE PEN, AND THE SWORD (THE MORAN FAMILY LEGACY)

I am now diligently working on the outline for my book.  I found a new book about De Valera and it is fascinating.  It looks at him from a completely different point of view.  This author claims that De V was not a great Irish hero at all but a spy for England.  I know that sounds preposterous but he builds a pretty darn good case--I immediately bought the book and am now reading it.  I may use this as a back story for the book.  It would be very interesting to make Sean-Michael his personal aid.  I really like the outline form I am using, it is simpler than what I used the last time and I think it will give me the opportunity to be much more comprehensive and thorough.  I am also going to start posting my outline--such as it is, on this page.  The first thing is going to be the character births, deaths and marriages.  I intend to do a full family tree for both the Moran's and the Healy's.  Raliegh Wainwright is going to be the arch-villian (I hate him already!).
