Timeline of Events

I have developed a timeline of events as part of world building.  I have opted to share that timeline in the form of stories and vignettes.  This is the means to read all of my work in chronological order.  Periodically, I will post a vignette that adds to this timeline.  Any additional publications will appear here as well.  Items clearly not on the timeline have yet to be threaded into this history.

Timeline of Events

From the pages of Thunder Moon Tussle: Lunadyne Corporation

When Orbitdyne began their lunar operations, they changed their name to Lunadyne.  They are the principle owner and operator of Conrad Station.  Orbitdyne was originally founded by Ava and Ernie McDermott.  Morris Mason, the former CEO of Mason Industries, is a third partner in the operation.

Conrad Station is central in Thunder Moon Tussle.  Deputy Miller happens to be an employee of Lunadyne reporting directly to Morris Mason.

Morgan’s Road by Torn MacAlester

My short story Morgan's Road acts as a prequel to the remainder of my current stories including my novel Thunder Moon Tussle.  I wrote the story itself to romanticize the actual science results from LCROSS.  You can see the science behind the story in article The Science of Torn MacAlester's Morgan's Road.

Short fiction: Clash of Titans

Here is a new short fiction vignette by yours truly. This scene involves two of the important characters appearing in Thunder Moon Tussle. This short fiction could be regarded as a prequel, but there are no spoilers. Enjoy!
