Happy to announce that grilling season has returned to a casa de Kovac and is off to a delicious start.

"The Surge. It perfectly captures the combat experience—long periods of boredom punctuated by sudden bursts of violence—in prose that never lets up in intensity.” - David Abrams, author of Brave Deeds and Fobbit #SelfPromoSaturday tortoisebooks.com/store/thesurge bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
Second year in charge of preparing the Easter feast. Ham took a bit longer to get just right, but I think it turned out swell.
THE SURGE is an attempt at writing a realistic story set during the Iraq War so naturally I was compelled to include a bit about all the Chuck Norris graffiti on the walls of every porta-a-john. #FridayReads tortoisebooks.com/store/thesurge bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
HARD VACUUM - Issue 14: Starport Shakedown: When their patron is murdered, the players must take down a pack of thugs preying on the inhabitants of a spaceport. A great adventure for new players, now available @drivethrurpg.com: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #CepheusEngine #TravellerRPG
Conclusion of THE SURGE (first edition, Engine Books, 2019). In my totally biased opinion, still hits. Perhaps now more than ever.

The New Year’s Eve family game of Risk stretched past midnight. Another black squad victory after pitched fighting to secure North America before launching raids into Europe and South America.
My boy perfectly understands his father’s personality. Best gift ever.
My author copies of Scoundrels of Brixton: Savage Frontier arrived today. Slick art and layout, more dangerous locations, devious characters, TWO new starships. I'm thrilled with how this issue turned out and hope everyone who supported the Kickstarter really enjoys it. #CepheusEngine #TravellerRPG

I did not write today. Didn't even try. However, I did clean the house, changed and washed linens and towels, while minding a teenager out sick from school, poured my wife a cocktail when she returned home then cooked enough sausage and peppers to feed a squad of paratroopers. Good day.
Pasta bake night na casa de Kovac. That time of year for a meal that packs oomph.
Guys night at a sports bar with my teenage son: a suburban dad adventure.
