Daily Moon Dispatch — 13 June 2026

Do you need more Moon joy today?

The long lunar night con­tin­ues at Con­rad Sta­tion. With the Sun well below the hori­zon, the regolith glows under soft, sil­very Earth­light while Deputy Gen Miller patrols the dim­ly lit habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. Flash­lights pierce the dark­ness as the sta­tion adapts to the qui­et chal­lenges of two weeks with­out direct sunlight.

We are now 37 days from the release of Mask of the Joy­ful Moon on July 20, 2026.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the grip­ping, explo­sive con­tin­u­a­tion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga — a hard sci­ence fic­tion sto­ry of one deter­mined deputy, frag­ile alliances, cor­po­rate shad­ows, and secrets that thrive in the long lunar night.

The dis­cus­sion on Gen Miller: From Earth Cop to Moon Deputy will be on Thurs­day, 18 June 2026.

The Goodreads Give­away for The Luna­dyne Inci­dent is also still run­ning until June 15 — a great way to dive into the series.

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.
