My debut novel, THE SURGE, returns to the world today. A war novel that's not a war novel. A story I never wanted to write, but one that demanded to be told. Available from your favorite bookseller or ask for it at your local library. bookshop.org/p/books/surge-…

On Memorial Day, I always think of this inscription on a British grave from WWI: “If love could have saved him he would not have died.”

Remember the Fallen today, and honor them by doing something, if only for a moment, that would make the ones you knew and loved smile.

I'm not that active here these days, but my work at The Kyiv Independent to bring our audience as close to the battlefield as possible hasn't stopped for a second. If you like what I do, and want us to keep getting better, please consider supporting our work. kyivindependent.com/membership?amb…
