Welcome to the web site of Ron Morin.

Born in 1944, while his father was in the Navy, Mr. Morin spent the first four years of his life with his mother and her parents. The grandparents were from French-speaking Canada, and Mr. Morin's first language was French.

In 1949, Mr. Morin was flunked out of kindergarten in public school because his English was non-existent. He transferred to a bi-lingual French-Canadian grammar school where the first half of the day was in French-Canadian and the second half in French-Canadian English. He stayed for eight years and excelled.

After high school, he tried college for a semester, but was asked to leave for drunkenness and fighting. He became a landscaper for two years, saved his money, and moved to Europe for nine months. Upon his return, he drove to Mexico with a friend, whom he saved from rape and murder. Back home, his father, who owned a funeral home, offered to pay for his education at embalming school in Boston. Mr. Morin made his living picking up dead bodies, but only completed a year of mortuary science to his father's chagrin.

Several odd jobs and years later, Mr. Morin enrolled at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, as a French major. He took his junior year in Paris, at the Sorbonne. While in college, Mr. Morin made his living as a cab driver and night attendant at McLean Hospital. Upon graduation, he began teaching at a prep school in Boston, where for two years, he taught French (a language he knew), Spanish (a language he didn't know), and English (a language he was getting better at). Not of the temperament to be a prep school teacher, Mr. Morin moved on, to a special needs classroom in a locked facility for disturbed youth, age 6 to 15. Mr. Morin found his legs in this environment and eventually became a master teacher for the Lesley Schools for Children in Cambridge. However, after two years of happy teaching, the lust to write claimed him, and he went back to Paris, where he spent nine months writing a bad novel.

Several consulting jobs and a Masters' Degree ensued. One day he became executive director of a social services agency in Gloucester, Massachusetts, where he remained for twelve years.

After merging the agency with two hospitals, Mr. Morin decided to write full-time. Narrow Bridge is his first play, All the Bells of Heaven his second, and Into the Fire his third. The plays together form The Holy Trilogy.
