Daily Moon Dispatch — 8 Jun 2026

Do you need more Moon joy today?

The long lunar day at Con­rad Sta­tion has reached its last hours. The Sun sits bare­ly above the hori­zon, cast­ing incred­i­bly long, dra­mat­ic shad­ows that stretch for kilo­me­ters across the regolith. Tomor­row brings lunar sun­set and the begin­ning of two weeks of dark­ness. Deputy Gen Miller watch­es silent­ly in this twi­light, every sil­hou­ette sharp and every move­ment full of qui­et weight.

We are now 42 days from the release of Mask of the Joy­ful Moon on July 20, 2026.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the pow­er­ful, explo­sive con­clu­sion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga — a hard sci­ence fic­tion sto­ry of one deter­mined deputy, a bro­ken sher­iff, shift­ing alliances, and secrets that could tear Con­rad Sta­tion apart.

This week on the Moon:

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.
