I fail to see how this guy meets WP:NAUTHOR. I expected to find even just one real review but all I can find are Amazon reviews and goodreads and literally nothing in the way of coverage of the author himself. CUPIDICAE💕 18:25, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

I thought he might be self-published only, which is fine, but has a legit agent at a big agency and is or has been published by Thomas & Mercer, which are legit and publish big names but are connected to Amazon which is why a lot of his sources probably points to there. --LostLogin (talk) 21:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Agreed with nominator. There is almost no other information about him except his books. – Cupper 52 Discuss! 18:34, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. No evidence of notability, coverage not outside Amazon, Goodreads and his website. -- Ashley yoursmile!  18:52, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
