Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 29 July 2026

The long lunar day con­tin­ues at Con­rad Sta­tion. Gold­en light stretch­es across the regolith while Deputy Gen Miller makes her rounds through the habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. Sys­tems are run­ning at full capac­i­ty, the sta­tion feels awake, and the qui­et con­straints of fron­tier life remain firm­ly in place.

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.

Articles

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