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 Wayward Realtor in the Hands of the FBI

OIG Hotline, it's hard to know how to respond when one's realtor allegedly lies to federal investigators for pay.

I always believe in full disclosure, so I am herewith rendering public my letter to realtor Kiersten Ligeti of The Agency in Los Altos, CA.

It's worth asking whether I have any private property rights left after Tom Lyons has not only allegedly committed physical harm to my property, but also defamed me to my neighbors, falsely accused me of the most serious crimes imaginable, and, following all of this, deprived me of a real estate attorney and a realtor.

One wonders whether the man would be held accountable for high treason if he were found guilty of that particular heinous crime.

While we wait for that verdict, I include the following for the public's perusal:

Kiersten, when a client is asking you to realign with the truth, after you have lied to federal investigators, it is best to extend that professional courtesy prior to running for the high hills.  Otherwise, people -- I among them -- might feel that necessary ethics were not maintained.

For your own sake, I hope you exercised the wisdom to retract any and all directed lies you extended to the OIG Hotline.

If you have a good lawyer, he or she will immediately admonish you never, never to lie to federal investigators.

Am I offended by your conduct, given my early explanation to you that I am a human rights advocate who has experienced extensive defamation through knowingly falsified law enforcement reporting by the FBI?

Am I disappointed by your choice to accept pay from an unethical federal agency after I had forewarned you that these men were acting in a criminal capacity?

Do I feel that your conduct has represented manipulation, deceit, foolishness and betrayal of clients who fundamentally trusted you?

Do you yourself feel guilty for having endangered my family members and myself based on lies you extended at the directive of Tom Lyons and/or others among his affiliates?

These are all appropriate questions, certainly.

Kiersten, when I went to the grocery store this evening, I was mobbed by Chinese American shoppers.  When I went to the pet store this evening, I was mobbed by Chinese American pet owners.  When I returned to my hotel this evening, I was mobbed by Chinese American hotel guests waiting in the parking lot.

Based on this experience, which I have never had before in Flagstaff, Arizona, I am going to guess that you planned in advance the details of your tearful (Oscar-worthy, no doubt) phone call to Kxx overseas, and that following your unbelievable discourtesy and manipulation, you proceeded to file a false statement alleging that you somehow overheard signs of "espionage" during your phone call.  No doubt the FBI assisted with an AI-generated version of the call afterwards, sealing the deal.  Was Chinese being spoken in the background?  One can only imagine the deceitful specifics.

Kiersten, if you contributed to these lies, please know that I am now being physically harassed as a direct result of your dishonesty.

I will be considering my next steps regarding your conduct.

I disapprove of liars, and I did not expect you to become one so willingly, and, I have no doubt, profitably, at the behest of the FBI.

You have demonstrated profoundly failed character in this circumstance, I regret to observe.

You owe my family and myself your sincere apology, your confirmation that your email to me yesterday afternoon at 3:14 PM was filled with outright lies, and your retraction of any and all false witness statements you have filed about my honorable husband, my honorable children, or my honorable self.

I expected much better conduct from you, I must say.

You stand as a disappointment to your professional code of ethics, in my opinion, and you certainly stand as a disappointment to me.

Sincerely,

Lane MacWilliams
