Non notable author. Her one book is in only 127 libraries a/c worldcat. Ref 1 is not by itself  a reliable source for notability,. The rest is a mention, or things she wrote herself.  DGG ( talk ) 16:10, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - Already cited are Kirkus and USA Today (which, though it's only a couple sentences, isn't nothing). Here are a few more: The Hairpin, refinery29, Gentwenty, literallydarling, Metro. All of these contribute to notability for the book more than Pan, but there's the complicating factor (of where the notability is) in that she has written for some relatively well known publications, too. Probably a weak delete at this point, but I'll wait to see if anything else pops up. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites  talk  \\ 18:16, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: I just looked at those links Rhodo posted, and they do talk about Pan enough to make a pass: if they were reliable sources. What makes them that, other than Metro?  I'd like to see an interview like that from serious media: a major regional newspaper, a network, something like that, not just from literary blog sites.  Give me that and I'll flip my vote fast.
