Pretty much handed in my fandom card after I went to investigate said author and found out that she wrote a problematic spy story (about fighting terrorist. Guess which race the terrorist was!). Just jumping from fail to fail. Not to mention none of her betas picked up on it (one of her betas wrote a racefail fic about J2 saving people in Nigeria), and the artist for using actual photographs from the earthquake. Just. NO.
Writing is awful imho but what's more awful is the number of people telling her it's "respectful" and "engaging". Nope, this fandom learnt nothing from The Killing Fields (were you here for that debacle?)
