Looks like Anya may have to spice up her work of fiction about her supposedly cruel and heartless upbringing as more wannabe authors are crawling out of the woodwork to add to the bucketloads of misery memoirs that are the current flavour of the month in literary circles.
Mainstream Publishing published
Kathy's Story, a supposed biographical account by Kathy O'Beirne of her terrible upbringing where she allegedly;
- Had her hand put in the crack of a door while her father pressed against it until the pain made her pass out
- Had her hand held in a pan of hot grease as a child
- Was beaten by her father with a belt until the wounds turned septic
- Was raped in a Convent when 14
- Had a baby as a result of the rape which was stolen away by the nuns in the convent
Heart tugging stuff.
Except a few people have said it's all a load of bollocks.
People such as her 5 bothers and sisters who have claimed the book is a
"hoax publication'.
People like the Nuns who run the Convent who have met with Kathy prior to the publication of her book and are now considering suing over the allegations.
At a press conference held by the family, they refuted yet another claim by Kathy that she was adopted by producing her birth certificate.
This also laid to rest claims that Kathy was 45 when her birth certificate showed her to be 50.
And yet 350,000 copies of the book have been sold (no doubt earning a pretty penny for the author).
Looks like Anya will have to "up the stakes" as she is penning her own version of dark and lurid tales of her childhood, if she expects to compete in this murky world of fiction.
Perhaps she was raped by the Pope who flew into her window on a flying saucer........
A simple tale of
"lost my job, lived in a car for a bit, got a book deal" just won't cut it in todays demanding market.
