Subject won an Edgar Award for a book-length work http://www.nytimes.com/1989/05/16/books/edgar-awards-for-mysteries.html and is obviously notable per  and . And if one book wasn't enough, a second book was listed as "notable" by the NYTimes http://www.nytimes.com/1994/08/07/books/new-noteworthy-paperbacks-784583.html. The search links above produce more than enough results to demonstrate unquestionable notability. This should be closed and courtesy blanked ASAP. That the article was created by its subject shouldn't be ignored, but the subject is clearly notable and the text is not spammy in nature. There was absolutely no reason not to treat the editor as a good faith contributor and provide guidance to him. The sockpuppet claims are pretty much empty, since he appears to have abandoned the original account before doing significant editing under the second one, and abandoning "real name" accounts is hardly unusual here. I'm tempted to close and blank this myself
