I have spoken to my old friend Juliet Warsaw at International Publishing News.
This is a fascinating case allegedly involving the following people: -
Luigi Bonomi, Literary Agent
John Honderich, Chairman of Torstar and Owner of Harlequin Books (inherited)
Karin Stoecker, ex-Editorial Director of Harlequin Books
Professor David W. Robertson, of the University of Texas at Austin and the United States Supreme Court at Austin, Texas
The news on SHADY PUBLISHING DEALS is shocking, but the greatest shock is that it didn't come out sooner; after all, it's obvious - isn't it?
A secret deal was brokered to ensure the multi-billion dollar Charlotte Lamb e-book estate was published at a lower % than the original 1970s, 80s and 90s contracts stipulate.
Sarah Holland would never have agreed to it.
Somebody else would.
So Sarah had to be gotten rid of - and not in a way which drew any attention to the Charlotte Lamb literary estate before those e-books could be released.
It was a brilliantly planned and ruthlessly executed murder plot which ought to have worked.
After all, nobody would have noticed the e-book rights sitting quietly in the background if Sarah Holland had responded with suicide to that devastating attack in 2003.

Everyone was conned into looking at Sarah's relationship with her family instead of her mother's signature on those old Alan Boon/Mills and Boon/Harlequin contracts. E-books were still in their infancy and it would be another 4 years before Amazon launched Kindle, but it is interesting to note that it was 2003 when libraries first began offering downloadable popular fiction in e-formats. So Harlequin Mills & Boon, John Honderich, Karin Stoecker and Luigi Bonomi certainly knew e-books were a multi-billion dollar industry of the future, even if ordinary people didn't, and they would have known before the libraries.
Me, Me, Me - John Honderich, Chairman of Torstar & Owner of Harlequin Books.
He changed the status quo as soon as he inherited Mills & Boon
and a punitive new contract was introduced giving authors
0.08% of their book sales.
Alan Boon, Chairman of Mills & Boon.
The English Gentleman who always played fair and whose word was his bond.
Indeed, it is difficult to estimate precisely when the net worth of the Charlotte Lamb Literary Estate began to be estimated on future e-sales alone.
Harlequin & Luigi Bonomi knew Charlotte Lamb had turned against them during the last 18 months of her life because of their abominable treatment of her while she was dying.
They also knew Sarah Holland had witnessed that treatment first hand and, as a loyal daughter who nursed her mother unto death, would have ensured her mother's hurt feelings and justifiable anger towards the conspirators were not overlooked - especially when neither Harlequin nor Luigi Bonomi bothered to turn up or send a representative of any kind to her mother's funeral.
He abandoned Charlotte Lamb when she was dying.
The only solution was to get rid of Sarah before she could take control of any part of the e-book estate.
They couldn't do it legally because Sarah had been photographed and filmed with her mother since the early 80s and was internationally recognized as Charlotte Lamb's beloved daughter.
So they had to make sure Sarah died, and pushing her into suicide seemed the safest option.
It was into this potentially lethal set-up that University of Texas Professor of Law David W. Robertson blundered with his lie.

Arrogant, conceited and accustomed to covering things up by both sealing legal records and paying people to keep silent, one hopes he hesitated before taking his fateful decision.
He knew something potentially life threatening was planned for Sarah Holland and that his lie would tip the balance, putting her life in danger.
But he was determined to conceal the truth about his daughter's early years as family scapegoat and the only way to do it was to denounce Sarah Holland, accusing her of lying to extort money.
His decision may have made him a co-conspirator in a multi billion dollar international murder conspiracy.
Professor David W. Robertson
A blundering liar.
Because Sarah survived the initial blistering attack in 2003 and refused to commit suicide, she was offered an unspecified sum of money to sign a document agreeing to be disinherited.
Her alternative was to be made homeless and destitute with just 48 hours warning.
Sarah refused to sign and instead moved into a £60 a week run-down bedsit in Douglas, Isle of Man working 14 hours a day, 7 days a week flipping burgers and pulling pints while people queued around the block taking photos of her, the shoes broke on her feet and the local people helped her survive by giving her free food and clothes while drivers let her ride on their buses for free.
She was cut off from her family, disowned and disinherited regardless.
Far from showing any respect for her dignity and courage, the conspirators pursued her with frightening malice.
Thus began the long persecution of Sarah Holland - a relentless drive to force her over a cliff into suicide, bankruptcy or the mental hospital which has continued to this day.
They have attacked her remorselessly; dismantling everything she attempts from work to love relationships to financial stability, bank accounts, social groups, her personal appearance - following her from country to country, tapping her phones, hacking her computers, infiltrating her friends, bribing her boyfriends, spreading vicious rumours and even trying to falsify perverse sexual evidence by attempting to drug her, film her and put the results on the internet.
It is difficult to imagine their frustration at her continued obstinate survival.
But the fact that Professor David W. Robertson has witnessed ALL of it in minute detail through his daughter's close friendship with Sarah is shocking. This has given him all the information as and when it happened, like a perpetual live news-feed over the last 10 years.
At no point has this Texan champion of justice for the poor and attorney at the Texas & United States Supreme Court attempted to help her fight - leaving her with nothing but courage to arm her against the terrifying forces surrounding and attacking her.
Thanks to the lie told by Professor David W. Robertson, these forces have grown over the last 10 years to include American pillars of law and order, British, American and Canadian press barons, British and American literary agents, British Television Stars, PR firms and international publishing companies.
EMP Media apparently got involved via Luigi Bonomi when Sarah worked for them.
Joe Cuby
Chairman and Owner of
Celebrity Magazine Empire
EMP Media
The Chairman of EMP, ex-film actor Joe Cuby who starred in the 1960s TV series The Prisoner and also featured with Cliff Richard in Summer Holiday, allegedly hand-delivered several items from Harlequin - most notably a letter from the head of Harlequin's legal department.
This was handed by Joe Cuby to Sarah Holland at her desk in front of 4 independent witnesses on the top floor of EMP Media in Muswell Hill in November 2010. The letter was accompanied by an e-book contract and a further request from Harlequin for her to sign it.
Sarah was at that time working once more for EMP at Joe Cuby's personal request. She specialized in EMP's TV Celebrity Empire, At Home Magazine where stars of ITV and Channel 4 grace the front covers and edit their own magazines including: -
Carole Vorderman
Star of Channel 4's Countdown
Star of Channel 4's Countdown
and ITV's Loose Women
Lorraine Kelly of ITV's Lorraine
The front cover of her 2013 EMP magazine,
At Home With Lorraine Kelly
enfant terrible of British Celebrity Chefs.
Star of ITV's Hell's Kitchen,
Channel 4's The Chopping Block
and Channel 5's Kitchen Wars
Gok Wan of Channel 4's How To Look Good Naked
It is worth noting that all EMP's stars belong to the Housewives' Favourites TV stable that also contains Luigi Bonomi's most famous clients, the Nation's Darlings, Richard and Judy.
Mr Bonomi represents a number of stars from ITV, Channel 4 and EMP Media.

In light of all the trouble caused by Professor Robertson's lie, it is astonishing that he won't simply own up, apologize and set the record straight.
He is, after all, fully aware of the damage he has done and has been sent all the current material dealing with this scandal. Yet he maintains an obstinate silence - and an egotistical refusal to admit any part in this shameful international conspiracy.
Presumably this tells us he would rather see Sarah Holland commit suicide or be murdered than admit what he has done?
My contempt for Professor David W. Robertson grows with each passing day.
