This biographical article does not appear to meet WP:AUTHOR or general notability guidelines. Best efforts were made WP:BEFORE this nomination to search for better sources but were not successful. There are 8 matches on Google News which are passing references, but nothing which would help substantiate the article unfortunately. As with all of my nominations, please contact me if appropriate sources can be located. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 23:04, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Perhaps too soon for this author. Going beyond the article itself, I see that she has had a bit of local coverage, making an appearance at an event to promote reading to a teenage audience. [1]. There also seems to be a third novel "Golden" published mid-2013 which isn't listed by this article. Lots of blogs to show that people are reading her books (and enjoying them), but I can't find the sort of reviews or awards that would be needed to show that she meets the criteria for WP:AUTHOR.

Weak delete I can find minimal coverage in School Library Journal [2], and it seems that this is a writer of young adult books early in her career. I see three books published since 2011, and one coming out in 2015. She is published by Simon and Schuster and HarperCollins, both reputable publishers. I agree with the "perhaps too soon" above.
