 **** Francis based his book 'Come to Grief' on part of our lives, so you will understand when I say that to find a huge part of my daughter Natasha’s life/our lives fictionalized in ‘Come to grief’ was so horrendously painful and such a shock to me that I am still traumatize from it to this day!
Natasha was/is not a fictional character and never will be! Everyone should know this!
We lost Natasha to cancer and **** Francis knew this, as well as knowing the fact that I was writing my autobiography as one of her last wishes, before basing his novel on us. The thought of anyone reading about my Natasha’s life/our lives as a family together is horrendous to me. I consider it to be our human right for people to know the truth, to know that we are real people and not fictional characters, especially Natasha!
This is the main reason I am doing this petition is because, I promised Natasha that as many people as possible would read about her within the pages of my autobiography ‘Bad Blood’ and after what **** Francis did I have been unable to get a proper PR coverage for my autobiography. His supposed fiction novel ‘Come to grief’ was so closed to part of our real lives that the publisher who was considering my autobiography sent it back to me when his novel came out.
I appear to have a problem getting book reviews out in the newspapers or magazines. So I have to find a way to let people know my autobiography is out there and the only way I can think of right now is to do a petition to prove to the media that it is of interest to the people who buy their papers/magazines, media in general.
Now I suspect that one of the reasons I am having problems with this is because as one PR Guru said on morning time TV ‘PR companies can prevent news from being reported on as well as get information into the news’. In other words if you can afford thousands to pay a PR company, then you can get huge media exposure or prevent others from exposing what you get up to that you don’t want the public to no!
I am not trying to sell you my autobiography, I just need help to get justice for Natasha, she isn’t here to defend herself, so please do sign my petition.
Scroll down to see a typical example of the emails I have been receiving. Followed by proof of how the media are ignoring the situation.
