fails WP:AUTHOR. Out of her 3 published works, the only 2 awards are minor eg a state award. She's not an established writer in the same league as other authors on Wikipedia. LibStar (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete keep Has won two "newcomer" awards, but by now they are getting a bit dusty and she hasn't "old-come" yet. Was able to find book reviews of first book (I added those refs); no idea how important those Australian publications are. I'm torn between keep and delete, but with only one book I find it hard to support notability as an author. LaMona (talk) 19:07, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Changed !vote to weak keep thanks to cites found by duffbeerforme, Still not sure she's more than an average author. LaMona (talk) 18:28, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
