Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 22 July 2026

The Sun has risen at Con­rad Station.

After four­teen days of dark­ness, the long lunar night is final­ly over. Gold­en light once again floods the regolith, cast­ing long shad­ows across the sur­face while Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her patrols through the habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. The sta­tion is wak­ing up, sys­tems pow­er­ing back to full capac­i­ty, and the crew is shak­ing off the weight of the extend­ed night.

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.
