Astra sings the praises of Julian Heicklen

So who is Astra F. d'Oudney? Who is Felicity?

Here's the backstory: On September 3, 2015 someone named Astra F. d'Oudney posted a review of the Kindle version of Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles on Amazon.co.UK. I didn't find it until a month later. I took a screen shot and posted it here on October 4 along with a couple of other recently discovered reviews.

Several months later I stumbled across a review of the paperback version on the American Amazon site written by Felicity. I began reading it and it sounded awfully familiar. In fact, the review was identical to Astra F. d'Oudney's review and it was also posted on September 3, 2015.

Curiosity compelled me to combobulate this discombobulation. Turned out Astra and Felicity were one in the same young lady. One email lead to another to another to another to an interview to an article to a posting on Libertarian News Examiner.

Here's a question and answer I asked her about Julian and my book. The whole interview with links to her music and freedom activism is here:

ME: You mentioned "trial by jury" and you also wrote a very positive five-star review of the book Tyranny Fighters: The Julian Heicklen Chronicles. How did you become acquainted with the American jury rights activist Julian Heicklen?

Astra: Some of our campaign members are also members of FIJA [Fully Informed Jury Association] stateside. We hear from them with newsy items. When Julian’s campaign outside courthouses got under way we wrote to congratulate him on his stand. Julian included us in his regular circulars which became the substance of your Heicklen Chronicles book which we bought and endorsed on Amazon. You are to be thanked for bringing out that book which documents tyranny, a crime at definitive common law. This crime is routinely committed through and by the courts. What a truly fine example Julian is to us all.
