 * Week keep; I found a review of one of her works in The Globe and Mail, something she contributed to in the San Jose Mercury News, a note of her appearance at a panel in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and a listing of one of her works in the top 20 bestsellers in The Vancouver Sun.

 * Qualified Keep; Disclaimer: I know this author personally. Nicola has 8 (print) published fiction works, teaches crime fiction writing at a college (and published a related guide), and teaches and writes about new publishing trends. Perhaps most notable is her venture into multimedia storytelling (called a "Quillr", trademarked), which the Globe and Mail article references, and which is a finalist for a 2011 EPIC Award. A number of references are not online (including an article by David Pogue, if I recall).  I'm willing to give a shot at expanding the article, if it seems appropriate. --AddledMe (talk) 04:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Very much to my surprise, the books are widely held in libraries.  --WorldCat shows  hundreds of hits, and for Christian fiction is quite on the high side, as most libraries collecting this do not contribute holdings to WorldCat. I had expected to see only the customary half-dozen for niche fiction!
