Self promotion. As the writer has written several books, he may meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. I suggest Delete unless his notability can be attested to from independent sources.-gadfium 09:03, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Such sources have been provided. I'm not happy with the article having been written by its subject, but I'm now neutral on whether it should be kept.-gadfium 05:32, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
