Fails WP:AUTHOR. Only 1 article links to this being List of Australian novelists. The statement "the National Library of Australia describing her first book as heralding "the arrival of an exciting new talent on the Australian fantasy landscape" is not actually in the given citation.

 * Comment. The full text of https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/4300074 includes the disputed phrase, but perhaps the text is taken from another source such as a submission by the book's publisher. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:55, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nomination for the Australian Shadows Awards plus the two nominations for the Aurealis Awards give her a WP:ANYBIO pass on crition 1. The three reviews of The Whisper of Leaves arguably give her a WP:AUTHOR pass on criterion 3. The second one is up for debate, not everyone interprets it the same as me, I'd say more, if the ANYBIO pass wasn't so clear. CT55555 (talk) 03:42, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Passes NAUTHOR and ANYBIO per above. ​​​​​​​𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️Let's Talk ! 14:34, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
