[edit] Self Authoring

This article requires further clean-up/possible deletion. It is a flagrantly self-authored PR puff for the book. The author already has a Wikipedia entry - again with major POV issues - and this is over the top for a first-time novelist. I have taken out some of its worst excesses but I think it should be voted for deletion. Djlemon 23:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

See, history and user NicOx. This is obviously the author and surely a breach in guidelines? Djlemon 23:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Agreed the "original author" is likely to be the book author. However does that make the article completely invalid. I would suggest that the editor refrains from further involvement but the critical comment referred to does suggest that the novel is notable and a valid reason to keep the entry. By the way I have no link with the author and no connected axe to grind. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 16:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
