Daily Moon Dispatch – 26 July 2026
The long lunar day continues at Conrad Station. With the Sun climbing higher, golden light stretches across the regolith while Deputy Gen Miller makes her rounds through the habitats and corridors. Systems are running at full capacity again; the weight of the recent long night is lifting, and the quiet work of the frontier goes on.
Mask of the Joyful Moon is now available in both 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.
