Unsourced article about a science fiction author which does not indicate any notability. She has published eight novels (three of them listed here), which could be notable in itself, but a quick Google search shows only primary sources. This article was originally nominated for speedy deletion, but since it has been on here since 2006 that is not really appropriate. This is Paul (talk) 01:11, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, as I'm the person who added the speedy deletion template. She makes no claims of notability (no 'bestsellers' or awards) on her online bios. Her books seem to have been published in the late 2000s, so online coverage should be far easier to find. However, I can only find a short (2009) review of her book, Sand Daughter, by Publishers Weekly. This isn't enough in itself to pass WP:GNG or WP:AUTHOR. Sionk (talk) 01:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. According to her Amazon page, her most recent book, Morningstar, was published on 1 October 2014. She also has eight titles listed on her website. I agree that should make for more coverage than it does, so we could conclude she fails WP:GNG. However, I suppose it all depends on volume of sales whether or not she is notable.
