My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Assessing the Credibility of Threats Extended by FBI Affiliates

OIG Hotline, I regret that it is not possible from my current vantage point to assess the credibility of the threats I receive.

It seems prudent to document those threats that could potentially result in serious harm to family members, and my intent in communicating specific threats I have received is always directed toward the protection of fundamental safety.

Having said that, I am cognizant of the FBI's objective of mischaracterizing "targets of interest" as individuals who lack credibility, stability or fundamental insight.

To add to the complexities, when an FBI affiliate is extending serious threats, the possibility exists that a degree of the threats represent real risk, while there remains an underlying objective to discredit the "target" of those threats.  In general, it appears that certain far right FBI personnel are inclined to commit whatever crimes they can reasonably expect to "get away with."

I appreciate your forbearance under the current circumstances.

Most sincerely,




Lane MacWilliams
