Person exists; books exist... but I don't think she's notable (WP:AUTHOR). Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 04:30, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Its a difficult one.But I think the complete lack of sources works against it.I could not find any particular third party reference for this author.Wp says "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation; material not meeting this standard may be removed" & "When material is both verifiable and notable, it will have appeared in more reliable sources",thus it fails WP:BLP.Moreover it fails WP:RS because there are no reliable sources.The books are self written,but to verify the biographic details we need sources(details are available at the author's own website,but it is not reliable source).So, it lacks verifiability and thus fails WP:VERIFY.

 * Speedy delete, the whole article is a word-for-word copy of her entry at her publisher's webpage, tagged for G12 accordingly. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 09:25, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I presume Trent herself (or her publisher) put the identical text here and on the publisher's website, so the problem is not really copyright violation but a) spamming/self-publicity and b) lack of Notability / Verifiable sources. However it comes to the same result - delete. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:31, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. This is very much a puff piece. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:32, 11 November 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79
