The article was mostly written by the author himself and has no references. I could not find any mention of him in independent sources. It does not meet the criteria for notability, IMHO. Broc (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Couldn't find anything substantial about him, and so there is no indication of him passing WP:NAUTHOR. If anyone can find some sources about him, please ping me. KangarooGymnast (talk) 01:13, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The novels are documented in ISBN 9781844680269 in the entries for Stone Lewis and Sam Turner. However, I have found no independent sources for the author's life, nor a second source covering the novels. There are supposedly some contemporary book reviews, hinted at elsewhere, but the back catalogue search engine for the publication that supposedly published the book reviews turns up zero results.
