I've tried finding any kind of better sourcing for this individual, and come up empty. I find their books, of course, but very little more than that as far as biographical data or indications that the books are particularly significant (few reviews, and those tend to be on blog-style sites). The name is somewhat common, so I've tried some variant searches ([1], [2], [3]), but can find nothing besides "about the author" blurbs from publishers (and in books; while I initially thought the Google Books results looked promising, those are about the author sections too!), and I just don't see enough here to sustain a biography.

Delete - Fails WP:NBIO for having no in-depth coverage outside of autobiographical and primary sourced content. By the way, thank you Seraphimblade for laying out your WP:BEFORE searches so clearly via prose, it's something more editors should do when nominating.

Delete. I restored the "laundry list" of books to have some additional search terms apart from her name. I have searched using the titles of her last eight books + name/full name, and I can't find sources. Fails BASIC/GNG. Sam Sailor 21:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

move to Robin Wells, the name on the book jackets. USA Today believes that she's got fans [‘The French War Bride’ author Robin Wells celebrates ‘forbidden love’ with some recommended reads; the French War Bride appears to have been published in French translation [4]. Here she is in Bustle (magazine): 16 Books Everyone Should Read Before Getting Married (scroll to end of list). I suspect that there is more if searches are run with her proper name and book titles. I also suspect that she lived in Louisiana because The Advocate (Louisiana) covers her and pretty regularly and The Times-Picayune covers her intensely. I'm almost out of time for now, but the paper covered her fist novel with A WOMAN TO WATCH WRITER A REAL SUCCESS STORY: [MANDEVILLE Edition] LYDIA BELL Contributing writer.

Delete per nom, and failing WP:NBIO. While not everyone counts autobio/COI as a factor, it also weighs in this for me. - CorbieV ^☊ ☼ 21:36, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
