Dear Friend,
Dick Francis used true
life events to produce his novel 'Come to Grief'.
Worst of all he fictionalized Linda Corby's daughter
Natasha's character in 'Come to Grief' Natasha was lost
to cancer at the age of twelve and cannot defend
herself. The only way people will know the truth is by
Linda Corby's campaign to make her autobiography 'Bad
Blood' read by as many people as possible, in order for
everyone to know that Natasha is/was not a fictional
character. This was one of Natasha's last wishes and one
that Linda Corby is doing her best against the odds to
keep!
Bad
Blood
Bad Blood is not a copy
of Dick Francis's novel 'Come to Grief' but in 'Come to
grief' Dick Francis has plagiarized, committed copyright
infringement, and is in Breach of trust against Linda
Corby.
Linda Corby says that Dick Francis is a thief of some of
her most treasured memories of her daughter Natasha.
This is the most unforgivable form of theft, the thought
that their are millions of people out there who actually
believe that huge chunks of her life and that of her
family are fictional is abhorrent to her.
This
autobiography was created because it was one of the
last wishes of Natasha Linda's beautiful little
girl who knew she was dying from cancer when she
made this wish.

Hi Linda - Thank you for sending the book.
I feel quite touched by your trust and have
started to read.
Wow! I find it totally fascinating and you
certainly are blessed with that wonderful
gift good author's have for leading their
readers through the story so that it is so
hard to put the book down!!!
I have a busy morning ahead but just want to
sit here and read and read. Brilliant!
You've had to deal with such major traumas
in your life and there are so many people
who need comfort and encouragement with
bereavement and child abuse.
Back in 1997 I did a course on bereavement
counseling and a dear friend of mine who had
lost her daughter in a car accident wrote a
moving journal about the months following. I
wished she would have published because it
was so tender and real but she didn't at
that time. What she did do though was start
campaigning for MADD which was good to raise
awareness but I believe that sharing from
the heart brings comfort to others in a way
that those who haven't experienced such a
great loss cannot.
Your sharing Linda will help a lot of
people. Same with child abuse too as I said
I haven't got very far into the book but my
tongue is hanging out to learn more about
the political scene on Jersey.
I have to say that it is the first time in
my life I've read anything so honest about
the island and yet it's like the 'penny
drops' when you reveal the corruption and
class divisions there. In such a small
community I suppose it emphasizes even more
the wide gap between the haves and the have
not's in our society.
You go girl and just keep telling it like it
is. I've done the same and certainly have
learned how NOT to make friends but
certainly know you can influence people and
once something has been revealed there's no
ignoring it.
So Linda, I'll continue to read, and I think
it is really important to raise awareness of
plagiarism in all its forms.
Trust is so
important especially for writers because we
don't expect others to lift what we share to
line their own pockets. Will be in touch
soon. Kathy End of Email:

A friend of
mine recommended I read this book. what a
fantastic read, it had me totally gripped
right from the start. What an amazing life,
how this lady has found the courage and
fortitude to come through it all at the same
time as keeping an amazing sense of humour
is beyond comprehension. I feel sure that
this book will become a best seller, and
feel it would make a brilliant film.

This is not an
autobiography of doom and gloom, yes their are sad
episodes in it, but there are also many, happy, funny
and endearing episodes as well. Life isn't all good or
bad, it is a combination, as we all know sometimes the
people who get the real highs also get the real lows,
and Linda Corby is just one of those people who attracts
the extremes.
In buying 'Bad Blood' you are not just getting an
autobiography that is unputdownable, but also helping
fight a huge injustice.
You are getting
The true story behind 'Come to Grief' by Dick Francis,
and there is a hell of a lot more to this 'no holds
bared' autobiography.
Linda was a real life horsy detective, she has the real
character of the type Dick Francis basis his hero's on,
a woman who never gives in to threats no matter what the
cost to herself, and unfortunately sometimes it has
backfired on her and those she loves.
This is not a run of the mill story by any means. Linda
is one of the most outspoken, honest woman you are every
going to read about and she has faced the sort of
controversy in her life that the majority of people
would buckle under, but she still won't give in!
I guarantee that you will not find
another autobiography like 'Bad Blood'!!
You won't find
anything else out there quite like this
autobiography.
It is the one that the media have put a blanket
syndrome on.
Why, because Dick Francis's 'Come to Grief'
doesn't have all the facts, and fiction cannot
compare to the facts.
Buy now
because at any point an injunction could be put on its
sales! Dick Francis might just decided to do this as so
many people are now talking about what he did. The
grapevine is growing daily, so grab your copy now, while
you still can.
The price of this book
reflects the fact that Linda wants everyone to be able
to afford a copy, in this way she is keeping her word to
Natasha.
The price might well have to go up shortly as it really
is too cheap and everyone who gets it is saying it is
worth a lot more than the asking price.
Look at it this way --
$3.00 is really a painless drop in the bucket to be able
to get your hands on Bad Blood and start reading it
right away!

We stand
together. Why doesn't the man just make a
public admission and apology? It never hurt
anybody to admit they made a mistake. Your
daughter deserves nothing less.

A good man in
an evil society seems the greatest villain

I have read
Linda Corby's autobiography Blood and the
Dick Francis novel Come to Grief and Dick
Francis has indeed used the Corby's lives as
the basis for his book. Disgusting behaviour
by Dick Francis!

Get a
conscience, Francis and do the RIGHT THING!
John Wayne Peel
We all know
justice and support does not always go to
the people that deserve it most. In this
case you DO deserve it Linda, wish you not
only luck but great success!

I'm from Delhi
and have been an avid reader of Dick Francis
books - but I'm with you ALL the way Linda,
you have a right for the world to read your
story, if they so wish, and blocking your
autobiography was disgusting.

I have cancer
in my family, and I think it's REPREHENSIBLE
that someone would cash in on your story
like that
Philip
I am 100%
behind you. It's awful that this already
wealthy man is cashing in on your grief.
Good luck and best wishes.

As a reader and
fan of the DAILY MAIL I am pointing you to a
story of enormous human interest, almost too
unbelievable not to be fiction. This saga
has all the elements of human skullduggery,
tragedy and pure official incompetence that
you could wish for to increase sales of your
newspaper. I believe this story is on the
verge of becoming big time news and is on
the verge of bursting into the media like a
lanced boil after years of festering. This
story concerning one woman's long brave
fight to expose the truth is worth looking
at and would be a terrific scoop. I suggest
you tap the name LINDA CORBY into your
computer and follow the latest developments.
Yours sincerely Ben C

Help Linda keep her
word to Natasha.
If you
buy just one book this year make it this one and get
the feel good factor, for when you have read it you
will know you bought the right one.
Don't you owe it
to yourself to read Bad Blood today?
