Simon & Schuster UK has recently announced the launch of a genre-specific social media and blog site, meant to entice avid readers of its New Adult and Romance titles. Called The Hot Bed and curated by an in-house team of four Simon & Schuster UK professionals, the site aims to be the source for news about S&S’s top-selling and most well-loved romance authors, as well as a blog for those authors to make appearances.

At the beginning of March, author Jamie McGuire posted a panicked and upset message to her blog and Facebook page. In it, she explained to her readers that Amazon had sent out an email to everyone who had bought the self-published Kindle version of her book, Beautiful Disaster, telling them that there was a problem and that buyers could request a refund and then re-buy the book if they wished.

Fellow author Sara Fawkes received the email herself and posted it on her blog:
