4.0 out of 5 stars "A rollicking tale of crime & action!" - Christina Hoag, author, 'Law of the Jungle'AUTHOR SHOUT 2023 Honorable MentionReviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021 Do you have a bully in your neighborhood? A troublesome squatter you can't get rid of? When the courts and police can't-or won't-help, there's little you can do and hope the problem goes away. Home renovators Ritchie Pearce, ex-con, and Arlan Kovacs, ex-cop, are the go-to guys.
Up until now it's been easy money with little or no risk. Until they rub up against gang-bangers. In a twist of irony, there is no one they can call to rid them of their problem. They believe they are on the side of angels, borderline vigilantes, helping the public. The two tough guys must come up with a plan to get the gang off their back forever. It's a one-shot attempt. Failure is not an option.

Biographie de E. R. Yatscoff

Crime Writers of Canada Arthur Ellis Award finalist, John Bilsland non-fiction award, Canada Book Award Winner and Author Shout 2023 honorable mention. Most mysteries and suspense novels have to do with cops, lawyers, and PIs. My protagonist is a firefighter and is the first firefighter pulp fiction in Canada. True grit and reality are my writing tenets. My juvenile/middle grade/chapter books have no magic wands, wise talking creatures, vampires, or parallel worlds.
I write stories about children, not so much specifically for children. Many adults enjoy my writing because of this. My stories are about unassuming boys who get in trouble and must prove themselves and show the world they have hearts of lions. There's fighting, conflict, loyalty, bullies, integrity, and courage. I've read samples to Grade 4 and 5 students and garnered excellent reviews. I was born in Welland, Ontario and now live in Alberta.
Backpacked the world on the Hippie Trail and lived in Australia. I've worked as a paperboy, grocery clerk, sales rep, all types of construction work, painter, mink ranch hand, assembly line rubber factory, cherry picker, freelance astronaut (no offers), boilermaker apprentice, delivery driver, father, coach, and career firefighter and officer for 32 years. I've also played drums in the Black Gold Big Band for 8 years.
I retired as fire captain with Edmonton Fire Rescue, a large Canadian metro fire service. I live in Beaumont, Alberta with Gloria, whom I met on a freighter/passenger ship from Jakarta to Singapore. I've climbed the Great Wall of China, been down and out living in Australia, honeymooned with Gloria during the Grenada Revolution and saw Maurice Bishop, snorkeled with a marlin, almost smuggled a Playboy into Communist Russia, tossed eggs at an Aussie PM, was in Havana when Fidel shocked Cubans and stepped down.
My wife made a pot of tea for the Queen of England in N. Z. I travel widely, do a bit of fishing and boating, drink demon rum, manage a writers group, do occasional renos, and sit on my butt outside in the good weather reading a decent book. My writing work consists of travel articles, YA, juvenile, how-tos, and has garnered several awards. Check out my website for some excellent short stories.
