When she is physically attacked soon after her arrival in the United States, the terrifying experience prompts her to hide in plain sight by passing as her twin, Sevastyan, until he is able join her. Orson has been commissioned to write an opera for The Twelfth Night Festival, but he is suffering from composer's block. Not only that, his muse, Isabella, has inexplicably withdrawn from all performing. During a chance meeting, Orson discovers the extraordinary musical talent of Vira, now passing as Sevastyan, and it gives him the jolt of inspiration he needs. Hoping that Isabella will be as intrigued as he is, Orson sends "Sevastyan" as his emissary to persuade Isabella to sing in his opera. In this love-quadrangle seen from multiple points of view-some poignant, some hilarious-the myriad misconceptions that result from Vira's deception are woven into themes of migration, sexuality, and diversity.

Ray Morse Theuret and his twin brother Roy were born on a small farm near Chapmansville, Pennsylvania in 1912. Ray and Roy had two sisters, Edith Theuret Tingley and Ola Theuret Irwin. In 1938, Ray married his childhood sweetheart Alice Akerly. They had two children, Bonnie and Richard, one granddaughter, April Walker, and two great-grandchildren, Derek and Amber Cope. Ray had a successful career as an auditor with the federal government and spent several years with the Army Audit Agency. One of the stories from those days appears in this collection, A Trip to Vietnam. The complete account was published as Army Audit Days. One of his most important personal achievements was receiving his CPA in 1947. In his retirement years, Ray spent much of his time playing golf, his goal of being a professional athlete, almost achieved. He had three holes in one, a tribute to his desire and competitive spirit. He loved the time he spent in Florida at his apartment at Seahaven and at the Pompano Beach Golf Club. When he was not golfing or thinking about golfing, Ray was writing. In addition to his chronicles of his days with Army Audit, he completed his autobiography, and a collection of short stories titled Franklin Park. His discoveries of the writers' group in Bowie, Maryland, and then another group at Lighthouse Point, Florida were miracles to him. His participation in these groups greatly enhanced his final years. Ray Theuret wanted to be remembered as a church going man. He was deeply spiritual, non-judgmental, and much loved and admired by many people during his lifetime. o m of an O ld Muskr at Tr apper: Essays and St ories
