Sin & Virtue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523331888)

E.S. Brtko was born just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Always the creative type, he discovered a love of music and writing at a very early age. At age 10 he began playing the trumpet, but quickly moved to saxophone. By the time he had reached 16 years of age, Mr. Brtko had taught himself to play several musical instruments. However, his love of writing flourished during his later years of high school, and soon, it became his main focus. He won the coveted Quill and Scroll Award for Journalism twice, and has been published in several magazines. Mr. Brtko spent the greater part of his early adulthood living in different cities and states, sometimes living out of his repurposed, old, hockey equipment bag. This period fed his adventurous and creative inclinations. He has worked a variety of different jobs - including Sales Manager, Professional Piano Player, and Corporate Trainer. Mr. Brtko published his first novel, "Winter Legend", in 2014. He has now returned to Pittsburgh, his city of birth, where he lives with his wife and son.
