This is a promotional, WP:NOTCV kind of BLP. Meticulously referenced, but only to his own publications and interviews. Google turns up almost no independent coverage of this guy or his publications. He appears to be the one and only client of his "publisher". Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:02, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete: Opabinia is indeed correct: meticulously referenced but "there is no there there." I found one article that was mildly intersting, regarding his departure from a lawfirm, but it certainly wasn't enough to establish notability. —  Noah  07:24, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. Having books published under the imprint D & M Fancy Pastry Pty Ltd very strongly suggests self-publishing to me. Peridon (talk) 12:37, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, this is a CV, not an encyclopedia article. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:22, 4 February 2015 (UTC).
