notability established, but needs cleanup[edit]

Untitled[edit]

I checked google, and author is notable, multiple non-self-published titles. but it needs massive rewriting. one editor has done most of it, and i hope they can finish it. perhaps putting an "under construction" tag would be appropriate. im not going to try editing, at least yet.

good work, but article still needs wikification. again, ill try to get to it some day, but compare this article to another author such as Dean Koontz,Raymond Khoury, or Stel Pavlou. ps i am very new at this myself.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:57, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i just noticed the tags were removed, but the article is still primarily a resume in tone. i have removed some of the material, but left the rest for someone to reference. authors often refer to life events in interviews to explain their writing. i dont think the depth of material can be sustained for this (sorry for judgement here, nothing personal about it) less notable author. be bold and add the references! and please consider adding the tags back, under wikipedia guidelines. this could help others to notice it, and get the article rewritten faster.

talking to myself here. i took out information not available on internet, added some formatting, etc. i dont think my original tags apply any more. again, any referenced info (interviews, etc) should be put in for notability sake.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
