EMBRACING EVIL is a compelling, fast-moving, evocative suspense novel written and set in Portland, Oregon. Readers within and interested in the LGBTQ community will find it riveting, as the story line focuses on their daily struggle for equality. Hatred, bigotry and physical pain are but some of the challenges facing a cast of everyday people targeted for extermination by homophobes. Their fictional lives vividly reflect the sad-but-true state of our society as a whole, and become an inspirational journey of grit, determination and transformation as they seek to extricate themselves from the clutches of dark and menacing forces. Lizette Fontaine is a cross-dressing ex-Navy Seal that no one should mess with, but somebody does, and what happens then, as bigots try to eliminate members of the LGBT community, challenges Portland's reputation for acceptance of diversity and its "live and let live" way of life. Anyone believing in their own right to exist as a free agent in a world that stresses conformity will find themselves reading faster and faster to see how the characters resolve issues that they also face. As a full time cross dresser, Mizeta Moon brings real world experience into a tale that at times will disgust and repel the reader, but in the end leaves one amazed by the strength of the human spirit.Embracing Evil  is available as an ebook from Amazon for Kindle readers for $2.99: click on the following link:  https://www.amazon.com/Embracing-Evil-Mizeta-Moon-ebook/dp/B01LWSAMU0/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_6?keywords=mizeta+moon&qid=1558110527&s=books&sr=1-6-fkmrnull

Pat has lived and worked in Turkey, Italy, and South Korea., and now resides in Iowa, where she shares a house with an assortment of adults, cats, and the occasional eight-year-old. She is currently finishing a series of short stories based on her Peace Corps experiences as a teacher in Turkey.  Seeds of Change, is set in February. 1994 in El Salvador, which is still reeling from ten years of civil war. With six weeks to go before the first free national election, the country is rife with conspiracies and assassinations. Sent to El Salvador on a banking mission, Ray Irving is thrust into the turmoil. Will he survive? Visualizing death at the hands of a firing squad, a mob of armed banditos, or even a throng of irate bank customers, Ray is certain he won’t.  During his two-week stay, he is kidnapped twice, clashes with a cynical professor from Iowa State University, meets a young  Salvadoran woman looking for her colleague’s murderer, a ten-year-old orphan, and a killer bent on revenge. Ray learns that an over-active imagination is no substitute for real life, that bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, and that love is possible even for a mouse of a man who tiptoes around the edges of life.

What does it take to be a Peace Corps Volunteer? Idealism? Adaptability? Perseverance? I thought I had what it took when I joined the Peace Corps in 1964 until I came face to face with the reality of living and teaching in Anatolia, Turkey. From my first experience with Turkish cuisine to my attempts to emulate America recipes, from my first meetings with Turks to my final good-byes, these forty-five short stories highlight the ups and downs of a fresh-out-of-college, know-it-all female Volunteer attempting to find her place in the conservative town of Konya, Turkey. Patricia has lived and worked in Turkey, Italy, and South Korea. She now resides in Iowa, where she shares a house with an assortment of adults, cats, and the occasional eight-year-old.

Young, well liked, admired, and apparently privileged but in fact ill-fated, Adolf, my elder brother and only sibling, found what saved him, but it eventually doomed him. Though dead in body, Adolf lives on in mind — in my mind. Never before had he flown, but when about thirteen, up he went at an airshow to stunt in a two-winged plane for two, the pilot in one cockpit, he in the other. When he came down, he said, "I want to fly again." A few years later, in England where we grew up, Adolf decided he wanted to be a surgeon. But my father, a business man, wanted him go into the family tradition of business. Upon returning to our hometown of Medellín, Colombia at the age of twenty-two, Adolf, was accepted into a life of social privilege but found no interest in business—to my father's great displeasure. Bored by his lack of prospects, Adolf jumped at the opportunity, provided by the U.S. Government in wartime 1942, to learn in the U.S how to fly commercial airliners so as to replace U.S. commercial pilots in Colombia needed for the U.S. Air Force. After flight school he became a copilot in the Colombian airline. Some five months into Adolf's new career, my separated parents and I, living in the U.S., were stunned to learn by cable that he had died from excessive doses of Atabrine, a common medicine for malaria that had mentally disturbed him nearly to the point of him killing himself. This story is about the true cause of his death and the intrigue surrounding its cover-up.  The cover image is based on an image of a lone man created by Antoine Art Studio.

"Against All Evil!" is a compilation of five of Howard's radio-adventure-style episodic stories. The first three feature Max and Lena Manus, a retired couple, living in Portland, Oregon, who are targets of evil powers wanting the secret to Max's superpower. Lena, his fearless ex-CIA assassin-wife, stands capably at his side as they fend off their determined enemies. The fourth story, ""Under Cover Agent" is about a Portland homeless woman, Karla Hammer, who is recruited by the FBI to help them bust a drug and girl trafficking ring because of the grit and resourcefulness she showed when attacked by a Mafia hitman. The fifth story "Jack and Storm," is set in the year 2079 and features a pair of hybrid wolves living in a small American town. As the result of an out- of-control science project, they have the ability to understand and speak human language. When Jack receives a cash award for heroic action, an evil politician decides the $200,000 award would be put to better use in his own campaign fund and sends hired goons to steel it. But Jack and Storm are not the easy targets they assumed. This tale of good versus evil presents somewhat of a Jack London perspective, and juxtaposes the moral qualities of humans and wolves.
