 * Delete. Advertorially toned article about a writer with no strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR, and no reliable source coverage about him in media to support it. As usual, Wikipedia is not a free public relations platform on which a writer is entitled to keep an article written and sourced like this just because he exists.
