A self published book of dubious notability. Despite the claim in the opening line, it did not, in fact, actually win any awards. It was, instead, just a runner up in two, fairly non-notable, awards. I have not been able to find any reviews from reliable sources on the book, as well. The article says that Publishers Weekly created a review of it, and though that review seems to be now unavailable, the entirely of it is included in the article, which consists only of a short paragraph. Searching for any other sources brings up nothing but its pages on online marketplaces or listings on pages such as Goodreads. Rorshacma (talk) 17:10, 10 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, found a small Midwest Book Review review (under "The Fantasy/SciFi Shelf" here), unable to find the PW review, nor here (doesn't mean there isn't a review), doesn't appear to be widely known: library holdings of one, so more is needed for notability.

Delete - does not meet WP:NBOOK which requires appearances in two or more non-trivial sources, so one brief write-up in Publishers Weekly does not establish notability - and has not "won a major literary award." - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 16:58, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Fails WP:NBOOK, and the article was also created by a WP:SPA and written in a pretty promotional style, so I think it also fails on WP:NOTPROMOTION grounds, too. - GretLomborg (talk) 17:35, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
