Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 24 July 2026

The Sun con­tin­ues its slow climb at Con­rad Sta­tion. After four­teen days of dark­ness, the long lunar day is ful­ly under­way. Gold­en light stretch­es across the regolith while Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her patrols through the habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. The sta­tion feels awake again — sys­tems run­ning at full pow­er, con­ver­sa­tions pick­ing up, and the qui­et rit­u­als of fron­tier life resuming.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is now avail­able on Kin­dle and 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.
