*Delete Stricken, see below. Author is notable and so are some of her works, but not this one. There are quite a lot of reviews, but mainly on "user-generated content" sites. Can't find the kind of detailed coverage needed to establish notability.  Tigerboy1966  01:42, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep the Google News search above demonstrates that multiple organizations have picked the books. Likewise, there is at least one good Google Scholar reference, and coverage in Sci Fi encyclopedias listed in Google Books. It appears the previous !voter did not look at those sources.

 * Can you provide some links to those sources? (I don't see many.) I wouldn't mind working on this. Goodvac (talk) 23:45, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
