 * Comment: Seems that Dennis Herrick has a better chance at an AfD than this, so redirect there.--Milowent • hasspoken  03:47, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment, found this from the Historical Novels Review of 2014 - "Herrick fully enters the minds of his historical Spanish and Puebloan characters, showing the cultural and religious differences between the two cultures that would inevitably lead to the first Indian war." and "what results is a balanced novel that expresses the worldviews of both sides and relates it in an exciting and interesting manner.". also, found this  posted by author so not neutral but are any of the reviews shown reliable/notable? if so, then this would meet WP:GNG.

 * It makes sense to redirect to the author. That's routine procedure for a somewhat significant but not very notable book. Even it is overcoverage if the book is as totally insignificant as this one. Historical Novels Review is no more a RS for notability than IMdB or Amazon. It's an open society which anyone can join, and "Reviewers for the Historical Novels Review are mostly drawn from our membership, and are all well-read, knowledgable enthusiasts of historical fiction.
