Lane von Herzen: Perhaps President Biden Would Be So Kind

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.

Perhaps President Biden Would Be So Kind

OIG Hotline, the FBI appears to allege that a document my husband has sent from Japan pertaining to his implicit and explicit permission to open his mail is being obstructed at President Biden's directive.

Allegedly the President's supporters within the FBI hope to accuse me of a felony for opening my husband's bill by flashlight yesterday morning as I was sorting mail in the near dark, thinking this letter was addressed to me, in the middle of a power outage the President himself allegedly authorized.

Perhaps the President would be so kind as to allow my husband to email me the document to provide to the OIG Hotline, so that the truth of this matter can be resolved.

I will provide this documentation to your Office as soon as it is available to me.

Most respectfully.

P.S. -- Please allow me to once again extend the disclaimer that some threats received by me and extended by the FBI are unsubstantiated by me at this time. I regret that I am unable to assess the credibility of every threat extended by this agency or its affiliates, and also that I am not in a position to judge the likelihood of manifestation. Having said that, many of the FBI's threats toward my family in the past have manifested in real-world harms. As a result, I believe that FBI threats extended to me must be viewed as potentially substantive.
