Tony, Big Bill, and our protagonist, Squirt, are attacked by a gang and narrowly escape to lick their wounds. Their secret tree house is now exposed and ruined by the gang. They choose to up the ante, seeking revenge, thereby escalating the battle. However, there may be a slight hitch as the rival group is led by Fat Harold, Big Bill's cousin. The trio decide to raid the rival gang's hideout; stealing items and trashing the place. The war is on. Three against twelve are bad odds. Out-manned, out-sized, and outsmarted, they are shocked when Big Bill, their strongest and bravest, is captured and held for ransom.
All they need is an army--or a fantastic plan. Squirt and Tony must face their fears and rescue Big Bill from the clutches of the gang led by the formidable Fat Harold. Bill's very life and limb may be at stake. Or are they?
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'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.
