I initially WP:PRODed this with the following rationale "Article on a non-notable, self-published book created by an WP:SPA. Neither of the included references appear to be genuine significant coverage/reviews in reliable sources, and searches did not turn up any kind of coverage on it." The WP:PROD was subsequently removed by an anonymous IP with no explanation, so I am bringing it here. To further explain the current sources, one is a dead link to a local newspaper, and the other is a promotional interview given by the author that barely actually talks about the book itself and would not count as a review. I could not find any kind of genuine reviews or significant coverage in reliable sources, which means this self-published book fails WP:NBOOK and the WP:GNG.
