We have signed copies of THE SURGE by Adam Kovac! Adam is the real deal; he's written a fantastic grunt's-eye look at the men and women we collectively sent in harm's way in the 2000s. It's as good of a war novel as you'll find; please check it out. tortoisebooks.com/store/thesurge

I've been trying something known as Swedish Death Cleaning and not only am I enjoying a less-cluttered home, it feels metal AF.

Allow me to toot my own horn. Finished designing HARD VACUUM, Issue 09: Holovid Heroes, and I gotta say, this adventure really hits. Easy for referees to run. Players are gonna dig the action. Probably the best in the series, so far. Look for it in September. I'm real proud of it. #CepheusEngine

Playing D&D5e again tonight. Thinking of renaming my human fighter Chumbawamba. Because he gets knocked down. But he gets up again. You're never gonna keep him down.

Today was a first. I used an app. To order a cup of coffee. With my phone. My phone!

Been a while since I posted about what I'm reading and I wanted to share my latest book mail: Fado Alexandrino, by Antonio Lobo Antunes. Highly enjoying this brilliant novel. Although, I admit it'd be a a bit of a challenge to read in its original Portuguese.

One month until my novel THE SURGE hits the shelves (again). Pre-orders are fabulous and most appreciated.

I was assigned to a detainee operations unit in Iraq post Abu Ghraib and if anyone had made a video like this they would have been court-martialed and chucked in a stockade.

Huge thanks to Mark over at the ENNIE Awards for sorting it all out before the deadline. Big sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly learned THE SURGE was mentioned in The Hero and the Victim: Narratives of Criminality in Iraq War Fiction, by Gregory Brazeal, published in 2024 from Lever Press.

The invasion of Iraq kicked off 22 years ago yesterday, so it's somewhat surreal to receive my galley copy of THE SURGE. I was very proud when the novel was first published. The story is clean, honest. This second edition takes it to a higher level. Pre-order at: bookshop.org/p/books/surg...

On the one hand, I'm thrilled to learn Meta and LibGen didn't scrape my book to train AI. On the other hand, I'm sad to learn Meta and LibGen didn't scrape my book to train AI.

Started rewatching SPACE: 1999. Still hits as hard as it did back when I was in elementary school. Absolutely brilliant show.
