Do you need more Moon joy today?

The long lunar night deep­ened at Con­rad Sta­tion. With the Sun still well below the hori­zon, the regolith out­side glows with soft, sil­very Earth­light while Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her patrols through the dim­ly lit habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. Flash­lights cut through the dark­ness as the sta­tion set­tles into the rhythms of the extend­ed night.

We are now 36 days from the release of Mask of the Joy­ful Moon on July 20, 2026.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the grip­ping con­tin­u­a­tion of the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga — a hard sci­ence fic­tion sto­ry of one deter­mined deputy stand­ing against the gath­er­ing dark, frag­ile alliances, and secrets that flour­ish under the long lunar night.
