Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR at this time. It is my understanding that the sole Kirkus Review does little to confer notability, either. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:43, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Neither Steffan nor his book appear to be notable, a write-up in the Marshalltown Times-Republican  is just not sufficient.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh and by the way, if you take a look at the link at the very end of the Kirkus review you'll see in mouseprint that it is from their "Kirkus Indie" service, which is paid for by the author or publisher. It is not a reliable source -- it is a basically paid advertising. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Good point. Unfortunately, many good and a great many worthy books fail to gain attention.  Unless multiple significant and reliable news media write a book up, book and author do not qualify for Wikipedia.  No matter how meaningful, important or well-written the book may be.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:00, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
