Lane von Herzen: Petition for Injunctive Relief, September 29, 2024 Re: Request That Portola Valley and San Mateo County Departments of Public Works Be Ordered to Cease and Desist

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.

Because the FBI appears to claim that work is scheduled to begin tomorrow morning, September 30, 2024, I will appreciate all efforts to halt this latest attempt at harmful Dxx installation on Vista Verde Way.

Most gratefully,
