I came across this individual while looking into sources for the deletion discussion regarding one of his books, and found that not only was that book non-notable, but there are no actual sources demonstrating the author is, either. The only claim to notability in the article is winning a non-notable award. There are two sources included, but one is just in a local newspaper for the area he lives in, and the other is a one-sentence mention. Searching for additional sources turns up a handful of interviews in non-notable podcasts, and that's about it. It appears that many, if not all, of his books were self-published, and did not gain any kind of coverage or press. Rorshacma (talk) 17:07, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
