An Incognito Visitor

An Incognito Visitor is a fictional account of the stories shared between the attorney/author and a mysterious former attorney visitor during the visitor’s in-office job interview. The stories they swap over several rum and Cokes describe numerous incredible happenings, which seemed realistic to them in their inebriated condition.

The stories related by the author involve persons, entities, and happenings that would undo the existing legal immunity of certain well-concealed and nefarious beings and entities, who have threatened to kill anyone who would disclose the concealed happenings or their involvement.

To protect himself and his family members against such death threats, the author’s mysterious visitor demands a promise of anonymity from the author as a condition for sharing what he knew or could prove. Consistent with such a promise of anonymity, and to protect his visitor, himself, and his family from the death threats, the author merely identifies his visitor as “Roy,” and he refuses to disclose Roy’s whereabouts.

The nine stories shared by the two include: contact with a 3,000-year-old man, an unborn fetus while still in his mommy’s womb, the University of Oregon Ducks weather-making weather guy, and a naughtiness-undoing genie.

Don Moeller grew up in suburban Chicago. A retired trial attorney, he now resides in Salem, Oregon. An Incognito Visitor (a collection of stories shared with an office visitor) is not based on his legal career, but comes strictly from his fertile imagination. He has wittily crafted an ingenious collection of short stories tied together by his profession and his interests.

Bred for Speed

Moeller Cover WebSci-fi alert! Ian MacDonald, a doctor assigned to work with a Katanga tribe in Namibia, meets a youth named Kimba, who must run through lion and cheetah-infested paths every day on his way to and from school.

Kimba’s running and academic accomplishments earn him a scholarship to St. Andrews University in Scotland, which happens to be Dr. MacDonald’s alma mater. At St. Andrews, Kimba meets and marries Seti, with whom he agrees to use his acquired cloning knowledge to cross-breed cheetah and human DNA strands for her to give birth to a super-fast son that they name Masemba.Kimba and Masemba are challenged to solve Masemba’s disqualifying cheetah-genetic predatory instinct of attacking other runners while on his way to winning Olympic gold medals in the 100 meters and marathon races. Masemba is also awarded the Victoria Cross for saving the Queen from an Al-Qaeda assassination attempt.

The epilogue continues with Masemba’s use of his super-fast speed to help the Chicago Cubs win the World Series and earn him Rookie of the Year and MVP awards, despite his never having swung a bat.

Chinook County

Moeller Cover WebChinook County flippantly brings to life author’s experiences as a small-town trial attorney for twenty years in Oregon, through the adventures of his alter-ego, Donnie Moore.

Donnie’s adventures start with the harrowing chase, capture, and prosecution of drug dealers as the district attorney for Wheeler County in the time-warped, ranch lifestyle of rural central Oregon.

The closure of a local lumber mill, which causes its laid-off workers to emigrate with their families from Wheeler County for work elsewhere, leads Donnie to move his family and his legal practice to Chinook City on the North Oregon Coast. That’s where Donnie encounters an incompetent prosecutor and a corrupt judge and county treasurer, the latter of whom gets killed by “new money” (or survives, as an alternative possibility).

Besides graphically retelling how Donnie obtains relief through the Court of Appeals for a defrauded probate client from an erroneous judgment by the corrupted trial court judge, Donnie’s adventurous tales help the reader to relive his fearful encounter with a “suicide-by-cop” client and his adventures collaborating with a laid-off creamery ice cream truck driver-client, in converting local cow farts into an award-winning “green” energy source for the farmers’ cooperative creamery.
