Non-notable author, no sources, the article was PRODded but the original author removed the PROD tag. Woogee (talk) 03:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The author is User:LLBooks, which appears to be the author's publisher, Leaping Lion Books. Woogee (talk) 03:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

How is it a conflict of interest when I just listed factual information about him? The page isn't glowing with compliments. I think I remained quite unbiased. LLBooks (talk) 04:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment I found two reviews of his first novel: Cabot Station in The New York Times and  The Hour. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:45, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete I really wanted to keep this article when I saw that his first novel was reviewed (briefly) in the NYT. However, none of his subsequent books seem to have attracted any notice or significant reviews that I could find. By the way, the blurbs about each book (which sound like they are quoted directly from the book jacket) are inappropriate and un-encyclopedic. They do nothing to make me want to to keep this article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:30, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with MelanieN. --Vejvančický (talk) 10:50, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
