Lane von Herzen: FedEx Shipment to FBI CJIS Division

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.

FedEx Shipment to FBI CJIS Division

OIG Hotline, I have sent my Summary Request to the FBI's CJIS Division via FedEx, with tracking number 3929 1971 5059. This item will be picked up on Monday morning for delivery on Tuesday by 10:30 AM. I have paid the $18 fee for CJIS fulfillment of my information request by money order and credit card, both, so as to avoid any possible delays. I have requested that results be mailed to my Portola Valley address. Thank you for your support in ensuring that information provided through this request will be complete.

In the meantime, I am available to receive both background and investigative reports as soon as they can be sent.

With appreciation for your efforts regarding this critical matter,

Most sincerely,
