Good morning my fellow story enthusiasts!

With almost a year’s worth of content ranging from a complete novel, two novellas and handful of fun short stories, it’s time to create a decoder ring pointing to the start of all the good things.

But first, Substack had materialized an app to make reading a bit more convenient (or at least different). Check it out here:

Read Armchair Alien in the new Substack app
Now available for iOS

With the app, you’ll have a dedicated Inbox for my Substack and any others you subscribe to. New posts will never get lost in your email filters, or stuck in spam. Longer posts will never cut-off by your email app. Comments and rich media will all work seamlessly. Overall, it’s a big upgrade to the reading experience.

The Substack app is currently available for iOS. If you don’t have an Apple device, you can join the Android waitlist here.

Now lets delve into the free archives!

Lunar Escape - A scifi novella

After years of captaining a cramped, Conglomerate owned survey ship, Lucas Ordaz is ready to retire and live his dream life on solid ground beside the love of his life. There’s just one last mission: before Earth’s defences obliterate the asteroid, Lucas needs to shuttle a scientist out to study it.

The scientist’s ambitions are set on fire when they discover a potentially alien object on the asteroid. She forces the reluctant crew to attempt bringing it aboard, and chaos ensues.

Lucas wakes up in an abandoned lunar mining facility, without a clue of what that object was or who he can trust. Most importantly, he has to find a way to make it home.
