✍️ About Barefoot and Bulletproof
This isn't just Eric's story. It's the story of Picher, Oklahoma — a condemned town — and the families who lived there, fought to be remembered, and paid the price of toxic ground.
It's about resilience, memory, and refusing to be erased — whether by lead and chat dust or by dementia's shadow. With literary agents Bob and Ritu in his corner, Eric finally has the right team to carry this book into the hands of readers everywhere.
