Comment: The Forbes article was written by a contributor rather than staff so not a reliable sources (see WP:FORBESCON) and the Kirkus review was through Kirkus Indie which does paid reviews so not independent. His website is a WP:primary source so should only be used sparingly and not helpful for establishing notabiity. S0091 (talk) 16:32, 14 September 2025 (UTC)
