 * Richard Paul Evans - his book The Christmas Box could use a plot summary too (it has supernatural elements).
 * Lisa Mangum is a stub
 * Aprilynne Pike is already pretty comprehensive, so it would be hard to double the prose size. Here's an interview with her from Mormon Artist.
 * William Shunn the author noted on the talk page that his memoir could contribute more to the page. Currently the part about his issuing a bomb threat in the lead places undue emphasis on that incident (it should be detailed in the body of the article and mentioned in the lead; his work as an author/programmer should be the focus of the lead).
