Well there’s one, a somewhat problematic example given she’s a former prosecutor turned mystery/true crime writer who uses her previous work in her books. Granted she’s hardly alone in that as an author.
It’s also not clear if another publisher won’t pick her up, or if she won’t go the self published route (she’s easily got the funds to).
It’s also pretty easy to see why she’d be dropped it’s not like she made a bad call in the 80s and since repented for it. She was involved in a rather egregious case of overt racism and has since then doubled down on her previous stance in more recent years. More over the offense was a byproduct of her doing her job at the time, a job she directly benefits from as an author of true crime. Perhaps if she hadn’t commented on it recently she’d have been given a pass. Or if her current books weren’t so tied to her prior job.
