Do you need more Moon joy today?
The long lunar day is winding down at Conrad Station. The Sun continues its slow descent across the sky, and the shadows grow longer with each passing cycle. In just 46 days, Mask of the Joyful Moon arrives. Deputy Gen Miller moves through the habitats with quiet focus, her silhouette stretching across the regolith as the golden light fades toward evening. The station feels different now — the long day has lingered, but the coming night presses closer.
Mask of the Joyful Moon is the powerful continuation to the Fabulae Lunae saga — a hard science fiction tale of one deputy standing against the gathering dark, where every decision carries the weight of the frontier.

Stories
The stories of Torn MacAlester are science fiction, where the science is well-grounded. I intentionally made any deviations for speculative purposes. To maintain maximum realism, I restrict the scope of these deviations.
Articles
I write articles of science fact and science fiction. The articles here span the knowledge of modern science and the speculations of fiction. I try to caveat everything that is an assumption. You will find articles about spaceflight, the possibilities of alien contact, and descriptions of technology used in my stories.
