I am a retired deep cover Detective and operative. During my career as a detective, I’ve worked with many federal, local and State Police agencies. My name is Ernie Lijoi Sr., Italian born, raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., Air Force Veteran and graduate of Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.
I began writing at age 65, after retirement. Now at 69, I have several books published, “Street Business” “Meth or Myth”, “The Cash Mule”, “Destructive Obsession”, “The Preyers”, “The Butcher of Boston”, “The Tunnel” and more with several short stories and many poems.
I have several other books committed for publication, but I am holding them for movie projects, some of the names are “The Preyers”, “Delicious Poisons” and “The Green Tide” with more to come.
As of this date I have been able to develop a movie script, business plan and budget from my work on a book named “The Preyers.”
We have several other books that will make great movies; all are based on factual incidents.
My current position is executive producer for The Preyers and we are in the funding stage with a tremendous amount of interest in this project. http://www.thepreyers.com
