Lane von Herzen: A Request for an Appeal, If Appropriate

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.

A Request for an Appeal, If Appropriate

OIG Hotline, the FBI appears to allege that a "kill order" has been extended by this administration toward my family members and/or myself.

I am not aware of the false allegations that are meant to have justified any such wrongful directive.

The FBI appears to suggest that profiteering stands as the primary motivation for intentionally falsified law enforcement reporting related to this alleged order.

For reasons unknown to me, the FBI appears to be attributing this directive to support from a single judge who is not on the Supreme Court. I will include the judge's identity within an email communication to your Office, as I do not feel it is appropriate to do so publicly.

I will observe that the Supreme Court knows this case well by now, and no one should feel empowered to undermine the highest Court's rulings by remanding critical aspects of this case to lesser judgement.

I do not believe that practice to be ethical, and I do not believe that the FBI should be permitted to treat life and death decisions for this highly honorable human rights advocates as a judicial "dating game," seeking the most harmful penalties possible in order to silence the agency's critics.

Please assist me in filing an appeal if appropriate, given whatever false accusations have been registered in this matter.

This is to confirm that all of my conduct, communications, activities, and television, cell phone and computer content and use have been and continue to be lawful and honorable in every way, shape and form, reflecting the highest character and integrity in every way, shape and form.

Thank you for your assiduous advocacy regarding this matter.

Most sincerely,
