Comment: The only new reference since the last unsuccessful submission is an Amazon link. This indicates that the book exists, but it doesn't help establish the author's notability. We'll need more independent, reliable sources dealing with the subject significantly. The New York Times is usually a good resource, except that particular reference only mentions her on a list, so it doesn't do much in the way of notability. Keep looking for independent, reliable sources per WP:42! Thanks, wia (talk) 22:31, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
