🟠 Help Me Publish This Memoir

A personal invitation from Eric Glover

This is the book I’ve been writing—Barefoot and Bulletproof: The Dirty Little Glover Boys—a memoir about growing up barefoot, wild, and determined not to forget.

It’s full of:

• 🚲 Barefoot rides down chat piles with no brakes and even less common sense

• 🧠 Generational stories, scars, and the creeping shadow of dementia

• 👬 Brotherly chaos, porch storytellers, Sunday dinners, and one goose with a vendetta

• 🦍 A Gorilla that still roars from a town that no longer exists

I want to publish this book the right way—with a publisher, an audience, and momentum behind it.

But I can’t do it alone.
