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.

Power Restored, 1:36 PM, September 29, 2024

OIG Hotline, please be apprised that PG&E cut my power at approximately 4:06 AM and restored it at 1:36 PM today, September 29, 2024.

The FBI appears to allege that, in the interim, the agency has impersonated me online in order to send hate mail to recipients that are not identified.

My text messages to my husband requesting that he assist me with documentation from Jackson Hole, Wyoming were apparently unanswered.

As a result, I am only now endeavoring to catch up with documentation to your Office at this time, in the midst of sniper threats.

I am attempting to provide your Office with everything you and others may need on an immediate basis to respond to whatever false accusations have been extended by the FBI and its affiliates today.

Most respectfully,
