BOOKSTORES, LIBRARIES & RETAILERS
Thank you for your interest in Dirt Merchant.
I wrote Dirt Merchant to tell an honest story about service, trauma, loyalty, and the hidden psychological cost of survival inside high-control systems. My hope is that it reaches readers who may see parts of themselves—or someone they love—within its pages.
Whether you're an independent bookstore, library, veteran organization, specialty retailer, or community partner, thank you for considering this book.
