WP:BLP of an entirely self-published e-book writer and a separate article about one of her self-published book series, with no substantive or properly sourced indication of notability per WP:AUTHOR or WP:NBOOK. As written, these just assert that the writer and the books exist, and are sourced exclusively to her own self-published website and a profile on Smashwords. Writers are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because their own primary source profiles verify that they exist, nor are books automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- either a writer or a book has to be the subject of reliable source coverage, verifying an actual claim of notability, to qualify for an article.

 * Delete both articles. I see no evidence that either the self-published author nor the self-published book series are notable. Wikipedia is not a promotional vehicle. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  17:57, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete both. I couldn't find evidence to show that either are notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:43, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete both as they don't meet WP:GNG, no reviews, awards or anything else found that may lead to notability (which is a pity as the fox series pictures look cute:)). Coolabahapple (talk) 15:50, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
