She had, in fact, sent out ARCs so the book stays in the database.

Here's a good writeup with screencaps and links: http://darkwriter67.wordpress.com/20...eage-may-vary/

The author has fully retracted what she said, and the Salon article now has been updated to reflect that. Author has also stated over and over again that this has been blown up way out of proportion, and that she was not ever threatened nor was she bullied. She is also blaming her bad behavior on... PMS.
