A search on Google, Google News and sites related to book publishing revealed no signs of notability. Besides bookstores, only relevant link I found was a Publishers Weekly news about recent self-published books. Fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG. Isabelle 🔔 20:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Found no reviews in RS for WP:NAUTHOR or other coverage for WP:BASIC. Claim that she's a NYT bestselling author is technically true (see ProQuest 1815063762) but being #21 on the NYT ebook bestseller list is not enough for N, IMO. AleatoryPonderings (???)

  • Comment. While I'm having trouble finding coverage online, I urge editors to examine the Media & Press page on the author's website which looks like it has pointers to some promising sources. pburka (talk) 21:02, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's what makes this kind of frustrating. It seems like she's kind of on the cusp of being notable, as I'm also finding things like this, but it's falling short of things that I could use to really argue for a strong keep. Her website says she's landed on bestseller lists, but I'm having trouble finding which books and when. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 11:58, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Found the USA Today book - it was for a book that hit at #57 on the general fiction list. Not bad when you consider how much fiction would fall into the list at any given time but I don't know that this would qualify this as a notability giving source on Wikipedia. When the bestseller list qualification was added as a potential source of notability it was pretty specifically intended to be the top 10-20 type of listings.
