Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 2 August 2026

The long lunar day con­tin­ues at Con­rad Sta­tion. Gold­en light still stretch­es across the regolith while Deputy Gen Miller makes her rounds. Sys­tems remain at full capac­i­ty, and the qui­et tech­ni­cal and human pres­sures of fron­tier life con­tin­ue to shape the station.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is avail­able in both Kin­dle and paper­back and con­tin­ues the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga.

Articles

I write arti­cles of sci­ence fact and sci­ence fic­tion. The arti­cles here span the knowl­edge of mod­ern sci­ence and the spec­u­la­tions of fic­tion.
