I don't think this meets the criteria for sufficiently notable books. I'm unable to find reliable third-party coverage of the novel itself and I believe the book is self-published since I can't find any trace of another book published by "Bottoms Up Publishing".

Delete per nom. I could not locate anything to satisfy the WP:NBOOK criteria. Gongshow talk 17:10, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Per the author's Linkedin page it's as good as self-published given that he works at the publishing company. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 22:15, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can't find anything to show that this book would pass NBOOK either. The book is listed at CreateSpace, so it's definitely self-published. Being self-published doesn't mean that a book can't be notable, but it does make it extremely unlikely since there are thousands upon thousands of self-pub'd books and very few outlets that can or would review them that would also be seen as a RS on here.
