You can read part of his first book here - http://smile.amazon.com/Insurrectionist-K-Voltaer-ebook/dp/B0075CP2SG/

It isn't what I'd call good, but it is a novel. I hope they needed more than bad writing to get a warrant.

Here's Amazon's description of his first book:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Insurrectionist-K-Voltaer-ebook/dp/B0075CP2SG

On 18 March 2902, a massacre transpired on the campus of Ocean Park High School, claiming the lives of nine hundred forty-seven individuals--the largest school massacre in the nation's history. And the entire country now begins to ask two daunting questions: How? and Why? After the federal government becomes involved, and after examining the bouquet of black roses that lies in front of the school's sign, it becomes evident that the hysteria is far from over.

Eight hundred twenty-five kilometres north of Ocean Park High School, situated in the suburbs of Phantom Park, Pacifica, is Krossephire Technical Academy. Having a student population that exceeds nineteen thousand, it is the nation's largest school. Krossephire is known as a very structured, academically superior institution with very minor problems. At least, that was before the threats began.

After Krossephire Tech begins receiving sinister threats foreshadowing the occurrence of a massacre substantially larger than that of Ocean Park, Agent Jessica Leigh Hearn and her federal investigative unit become involved and the severity of the situation only intensifies as they pursue a dangerous and intelligent killer who is as invisible as the government agency they work for.

Amid the hysteria that inescapably follows, Keith, Nick, and Mitchel--three twelfth-year students at Krossephire Tech--intervene after Mitchel overhears a confidential conversation. As the administrative effort to conceal the terrorising occurrences rapidly begins to fail, the three begin to conduct their own amateur investigation that ultimately puts them into serious conflict with the federal government, the Krossephire administration, as well as themselves. Simultaneously, Jessica and her team discover that the events of Ocean Park and Krossephire Tech are interrelated. And as they follow the trail of black roses, they learn an interesting yet appalling story--a parallel of the shooter's identity. And as Nick, Keith, and Mitchel struggle to survive their slowly deteriorating school, this teenage executioner makes known that he is not like typical school assassins. He is not a copycat killer. He is not a psychologically unstable maniac. He is intelligent and knows how to kill silently and without detection. His victims are not selected at random. He is after someone--and he will stop at nothing until he is face-to-face with the one person to whom he owes much retribution. However, he will not distinguish between those he hunts and those who get in his way.

I think maybe this might be it: The Insurrectionist - description of the story seems to fit and the first comment is about wanting to buy it to support a freedom to write what you want.

This is one of the worst things I've read in a long time. We should get everyone on Reddit to buy a copy of his book. Show some solidarity and help him pay for his defense!

The book has one 5 star review on Amazon. Kind of spendy $14.95 for the kindle edition. He might actually sell some after this.

The thing I like about this article is that is links to the novel in question.

I might buy it just to help support the wrongfully fired teacher.

You can see a sample, at least, here.

It just seems dangerously close to declaring thoughtcrime. Gaspar Noe (writer of Irreversible) wrote a screenplay with a nasty rape scene. That doesn't make him a rapist, any more than writing a book about a school shooting makes Patrick McLaw a school shooter.

Fun fact: The book was set in the year 2902.

The Insurrectionist has been on Amazon since 2011, currently $15. Someone has already added the news story in a review and stated, "the guy had it coming". I seriously hope its sarcasm.

Edit: Also on Google Books

When I bring them up at the following links...

or

http://www.amazon.com/Liliths-Heir-K-Voltaer-ebook/dp/B00FUL3ZRY/ref=pd_bxgy_kstore_text_y

Amazon gives me the option of buying the books via 1-click-purchase, or to give them as a gift. Does it give you these options?

Best,
