"In August she declared in an Irish Times article that she intended to use those royalties 'to go on supporting Palestine Action.'

...

Following that statement, she said she had been advised that any such payment to her for those televised dramatisations could be a breach of terrorism laws."

The author may choose to withdraw her books because her publisher won't pay her as long as she publicly commmits to using the proceeds to fund Palestine Action. The title makes it sound like someone is pulling her books; that does not appear to be the case.
