Weekly Moon Dispatch — 25 July 2026

Week­ly Moon Dis­patch – Week of July 25, 2026

Do you need more Moon joy this week?

The Sun con­tin­ues its slow climb over Con­rad Sta­tion. After four­teen days of dark­ness, the long lunar day is ful­ly under­way. Sys­tems are back at full pow­er, the cor­ri­dors feel busier, and the qui­et weight of the long night is final­ly lift­ing. Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her patrols under gold­en light, but the ten­sions that grew in the dark have not dis­ap­peared with the sunrise.

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