Lane von Herzen: 14-Page Fax Arriving at the OIG Hotline Investigations Division Today, Friday, May 5, 2023

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.

The right of law-abiding Americans to own private property must not be assailed by the far right within the FBI, nor by its affiliates. When graft motivates the training of a division of the FBI purportedly concerning itself with matters of "national security," the violations of the public trust are inexcusable, certainly. We need to exercise courage in illuminating the means by which public funds have been directed toward private profit among a given cohort of federal law enforcement personnel.
