=[[Eric Schomburg]]=

Elaborately puffed vanity bio of a horror writer with two books (from vanity press Authorhouse, ranked #2,655,846 and "none" at Amazon). Gets 468 Google hits -- the top one being this article. Delete. Calton | Talk 00:28, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Uh, I know he's on Amazon, which is why I noted the Amazon sales figures in my original posting. Clear? --Calton | Talk 01:04, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
