Author of some self-published books. I can't find significant coverage of the book "Dead Paki Walking" in multiple reliable sources, only booksellers and blogs. Article claims that it's "best selling" but there is no citation for that. The Hollywood Reporter site that's linked to does not mention the books or the author at all. ... discospinster talk 17:02, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

The book appears not to be notable enough to confer notability on its author, and nothing on the author's page itself appears to meet WP:AUTHOR. Tonywalton Talk 18:36, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
