About Anthony P. Dyer

The long road back.

Now based in New Mexico, Anthony speaks and writes to break the stigma around mental health in the military, aviation, and veteran communities. His debut memoir, Moonchild, is a raw and compelling look at war, trauma, addiction, and recovery — shedding light on the invisible battles many veterans and service members face.

When he’s not writing, he enjoys fishing, basketball, and spending time with his wife and children.

“War doesn’t end when you come home. Moonchild is my attempt to make sense of what stayed with me — and to give the people carrying the same weight a way to talk about it.”
