"Author's Book Deal Axed Amidst Star Wars Fan Blame for Review-Bombing Scheme"

Author Cait Corrain loses her book deal with Del Rey Publishing and other partnerships after being accused of review bombing debut authors of color on Goodreads. Corrain admitted to the review bombing, attributing it to past struggles with mental health and a fear of how her own book would be received. She apologized to the affected authors and plans to seek psychiatric care and rehabilitation. Del Rey has removed her book, "A Crown of Starlight," from its publishing schedule, but it is still listed for release on Amazon in 2027.
