KELLY, NINA (1955 - ) Author, Fabricator, Hysteric. Until two weeks before the actual release of Hamilton Coe – The Power of Insinuation, I had no idea that Nina Kelly was even working on what she refers to as a 'definitive account' of my career. We can dismiss this particular claim as vainglorious piffle. Let's not be mealy mouthed about it. Nina isn't even qualified to give a 'definitive account' of my breakfast. While the cover notes (accompanied, incidentally by a photo which must be at least twenty years old) refer to Nina as 'the undisputed Queen of True Crime', the most cursory reading of anything she's ever written is sufficient to establish it as the work of a text-book hysteric. Over the course of a ten year writing career, she's perpetuated innumerable distortions, accusing the innocent, exonerating the guilty. She's the equivalent of a taxidermist taking unconnected animal parts to create a monster. The head of a German Shepherd crammed onto the body of a turkey, teetering on the mangled hind-legs of a fox. Not to put too fine a point on it, the woman is a maniac.

As with any of Nina's previous books, there's as much point rebutting specific details as trying to convince a lunatic that his dog can't actually talk. If it weren't for the potential damage to the Hamilton Coe Foundation and the slanders she's perpetrated against individuals less able to defend themselves, I'd be inclined to maintain a dignified silence. Nina's ill-will will eventually destroy her before it does me. She's already housebound by paranoia and panic attacks.(Incapable of conducting her own research, she sends emissaries in Team Kelly tracksuits to gather information, subsequently rearranged to suit whatever fat-headed theory she's trying to promote.)
