Since then, Moon has firmly established herself as a writer, actress, comedian, artist, podcaster, tea merchant, and now, author of her brilliant memoir, EARTH TO MOON, the story of Moon's upbringing in the shadows of Frank Zappa, in a sexually free, but also dysfunctional world in 1970s Los Angeles.
