 * Delete Self-published (the publisher ‎ Amerisearch, Inc. is his own company). I don't find reviews in any reliable sources (Publishers Weekly, Kirkus). His books do sell on Amazon but as we know you can sell anything there. I do see some of his books in libraries, but until there are reviews or some other indication of notability I don't think he meets NAUTH. He's referred to as an historian but I haven't run into a bio that gives educational background. Lamona (talk) 22:21, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
