The result was   delete. , if you like, I can undelete this and move it to your private user space where you can work on it at your own pace. Please read up on our notability guidelines, especially WP:Identifying reliable sources, to get a better idea of what kinds of improvements need to be made. Hmm, I also see I accidentally stepped on 's relist; we must have both been working on this at the same time. Sorry about that. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:39, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Not notable. Lacks coverage about her in independent reliable sources. Other than two short Kirkus reviews her books lack coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:59, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - No real 3rd party sources. All of the LibraryThing and GoodReads references should be deleted - those are both crowd-sourced, and are primarily lists of published works. The Kirkus Reviews are not significant: Kirkus reviews nearly everything published with very short (1 paragraph) reviews. The remainder are her writings. LaMona (talk) 03:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I originally created this article when she got a lot of press for her jazz book for kids, which she did with her husband. I'm not sure how familiar the voters are with this industry. Kirkus Reviews is one of the primary sources of independent reviews, similar to Midwest Book Reviews. They reject the majority of the books submitted for review. This author has been internationally published, has been in the Amazon top 100 selling fiction books (all fiction, not just a subcategory), and has her work published in 3rd party publications. I have listed several of these third party publications, so I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. I am willing to update the article if you could supply me with preferred sources and more specific criteria. Dictionaryfan (talk) 03:25, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
