COI
You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself and read the guidance below

You have an obvious conflict of interest when you spam your own book, and you must declare it. If you have a financial interest, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. You are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your financial affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Also read the following regarding writing an article
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you or an affiliated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the you or your publishers claim or interviewing you. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * you must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.


 * Same applies to the images. The portrait looks professional and is likely to be copyrighted to the photographer, and book covers are normally copyright of the publishers. If I'm wrong, and they are owned by you, you are, of course, free to irrevocably donate them to Wikipedia, as you have done, so that they can be used modified and distributed by anyone for any purpose including commercial Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:23, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above
