Looks to be an autobio by a self-published author. There are a number of google hits, but most are social media. All sources are to subjects own websites. I'm pretty sure this is nn/COI, but have at it. - Co rb ie V  ☊☼ 22:14, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. I've heard of this guy and I've used his Dread Central reviews as RS on Wikipedia before, but he doesn't seem to have received coverage in RS. Dread Central has reviewed his book, but that'd be a WP:PRIMARY source on Wikipedia since there's an obvious COI there. Redirecting to Dread Central really isn't an option here since Wikipedia typically does not have a list of the staff members for any given company, partially because it can be seen as WP:UNDUE weight and mostly because that's not really encyclopedia style.

 * Delete unfortunately and I would've suggested moving elsewhere but there's no target and my searches found nothing good aside from one Books. SwisterTwister   talk  00:14, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete He does not appear to have notability as an author, except perhaps within a very personal fan club. The article has been written by an IP SPA and the refs are nearly all to his site. Books are held in about a dozen libraries each, as per WorldCat. I'm truly suspecting WP:PROMOTION, to be honest. LaMona (talk) 22:25, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
