Borderline notable at best as my searches here, here (the best basically and the links fade before about page #10), here, here, [Charles Harrington Elster here] and here all found links but the best one is basically the Publishers Weekly from the News above, and although detailed it may be, this still seems questionable mainly supported by that one article, I have examined the other articles from those listed links and I found nothing outstandingly convincing. She's apparently a New York Times Best-Seller but that's also not always inheritable to notability. SwisterTwister talk 06:53, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep: MORE than enough to pass GNG for a writer, again check Amazon, she has many novels by a noted genre fiction publisher. If NYT Best-Seller and a Publisher's Weekly review isn't enough to establish notability, I don't know what is! Montanabw ^(talk) 09:35, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep In EBSCO I find that she is reviewed and/or profiled in Library Journal, Writer, Booklist. She is profiled here [1], in Publisher's Weekly, was interviewed on Virginia This Morning, has a Hallmark movie based on one of her books [2], New York Times review which mentions that her books are bestsellers, Kirkus review... there are more. She is a bestselling author, with a movie based off one of her books. She passes WP:CREATIVE and GNG no problem. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 14:56, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - she's a bestseller and at least one of the novels has been the basis for a television film. (Never seen it, but I've seen previews - I watch a lot more of the Hallmark Channel than is healthy.) --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 16:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
