Narrative:
Approaching runway 23 at monroe after making appropriate radio calls and flying a full published pattern I turned left base in a stabilized descent when I heard a bonanza announce a runway 23 departure. I had previously visually cleared the runway and did not see an airplane near the approach end of runway 23. I asked the bonanza pilot to verify their position over the radio and received no response. I was still unable to visually verify the position of the bonanza as I was turning final. Once established on final I recognized the landing light of the bonanza at or near our altitude. I performed an immediate go-around and side-stepped the runway to the right onto a left upwind for runway 23. I then flew a normal published pattern and returned to land runway 23.
