Not a particularly notable author. The sources given seem to be either promotional, trivial mentions or just fairly insignificant local news coverage. Other news and book sources I found just had trivial passing mentions. Might be "big in Kansas" but doesn't, in my view, have sufficient notability on a national level for an article, I'm afraid.

 * weak keep An moderately notable author. His various books have had very different receptions: As shown by Worldcat Shakedown is held in 307 libraries & published by a respectable independent publisher & was reviewed by Publishers Weekly;, Last Witness by 257 but shows no reviews, ,  ( with reviews for Deadlocked, and 2 reviews for Motion to Kill; scattered titles have been translated. Thjis is rather low for mysteries, but much more than the sort  of author we usuallly find ourselves deleting here.  &#39;DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 22:12, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
