There is no significant coverage in independent reliable sources for this author. She wrote several books, but all are category romance novels; that means they are only available for purchase for one month before going out of print. The sole reference is to the website Fantastic Fiction, which I do not believe qualifies as a reliable source, and if it does then it provides only the information in the article - that this author exists and wrote these books. There are no reviews of these books that I can find (and no other coverage of the author), and the author does not appear to meet WP:AUTHOR. This is a contested prod.

Note that this may be an unsourced BLP - it's difficult to tell if she's still living as there are no sources. Karanacs (talk) 20:46, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nominator. Karanacs (talk) 20:23, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The author has created a significant collective body of work. The romance novel is a notable literary genre, and this author is a very prolific author within that genre. Macpl (talk) 20:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless evidence of non-trivial coverage in reliable, third-party sources can be shown. Canadian Paul 15:59, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, nothing in Google news or scholar, and I don't see any significant coverage in reliable sources on the web in general. --Nuujinn (talk) 17:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete not notable per established guidelines, like above nothing shows up for me when googling and fantastic fiction is not reliable. --ImGz (t/c) 19:48, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
