Faith-based independent publishing
Desert Covenant Books LLC is an online, faith-based publishing company. Our services encompass everything from designing and writing to marketing and print brokering for new publications.
Owned by author Dustin Charles Berg. Publisher of All Around Mesquite, Nevada (2023) and No Elk in Maine (2026).
The books
A history and trail guide to Mesquite, Nevada and the Tri-State area, and a marketing book for small business owners in the age of AI.
Our inaugural project meticulously details and maps the terrain and history of the Mesquite Region. This publication features engaging content on UTV trails and captivating stories from a bygone era.
The eBook was a #1 Best Seller in Nevada Travel Guides on Amazon Kindle, as Mesquite Local News reported in February 2024. The print edition carries ISBN 979-8-8704-0404-2 and a "Made in Mesquite" mark.
"There are no elk in Maine. You can hunt that wilderness for a full season with the best gear, the best guide, and the best intentions, and none of it will matter, because the animal is not there. That is where most small business marketing goes wrong."
Collected from inside the industry across more than a thousand small businesses, for the owner signing the check and the marketer who wants to deserve it. No shortcuts and no hype.
