Weekly Moon Dispatch – Week of June 5, 2026

Do you need more Moon joy this week?

The long lunar day at Con­rad Sta­tion is slow­ly draw­ing toward its close. Deputy Genevieve Miller con­tin­ues mak­ing her rounds while the Sun’s grad­ual descent stretch­es the shad­ows longer across the regolith. The sta­tion feels alive with qui­et ten­sion — prospec­tors talk­ing in low voic­es, alliances shift­ing like dust in the wind, and the Joy­ful Moon watch­ing every­thing with patient intensity.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the explo­sive con­tin­u­a­tion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga. One lone deputy. A bro­ken sher­iff. Mer­ce­nar­ies inside the wire. Secrets that could crack Con­rad Sta­tion wide open. This is hard lunar sci­ence fic­tion at its finest — real regolith under your boots, straw-cup beers, aging crawlers, and help that’s always three silent days away.

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.
