Week­ly Moon Dis­patch – Week of July 4, 2026
Do you need more Moon joy this Inde­pen­dence Day?
On Earth, it’s the cel­e­bra­tion of inde­pen­dence. At Con­rad Sta­tion, the spir­it of the fron­tier burns even brighter. With the Sun high in the lunar sky, Deputy Gen Miller takes time with the crew dur­ing the lunar day­light to cel­e­brate inde­pen­dence day, a reminder that on the Moon rep­re­sents the spirt of that independence.
Mask of the Joy­ful Moon con­tin­ues the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga — a hard sci­ence fic­tion sto­ry of one deter­mined deputy, frag­ile alliances, cor­po­rate shad­ows, and a shad­ow war that reach­es from Earth all the way to the lunar 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.
