My name is Ralph E. Laitres; I am 46 years of age. My friends call me “Sarge” or “Sgt. Blade”. I was born in the beautiful New England state of Maine and raised in Quiet Corner Connecticut.
At this time of my life, I am a 17-year veteran with the Department of Corrections. Prior to that, I proudly served in the United States Marines from 1980-1990.
I am happily married to a beautiful woman who encourages me to use my imagination to the fullest. Our children are grown and are now making their own marks in life.
Books and reading is just one of my loves. Drawing, creating art and tattoo designs and writing is another love of mine.
As a youngster, I enjoyed mythology and reading such stories as the adventures of Robin Hood, King Arthur and his valiant knights, the heroic tales of Beowulf, the Celtic heroes Finn and Oisin and the childhood sagas of Ulster’s Cu’chulain of the Red Branch.
In high school, I took to reading Robert E. Howard’s stories of Conan, Cormac mac Art, Bran mak Morn, Red Sonja, J.R.R. Tolkien’s series of middle earth.
Thorgil Ragnarrsson the Bloodaxe and Grainne the Red Girl of Connacht are characters I created for a book I started writing back in 1996 when I was out on injury. Over these years, Thorgil and Grainne have taken a life of their own. They have almost come to life.
Enjoy the short stories and please comment on what you think good or bad.
