Article is new enough, QPQ done, AGF on source, prose is a bit close but passes, hook is fascinating enough. If nominator wants, adding the age at which she sold the story would be a nice touch. Nice job, thank you for your work! ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would if the source gave an age. SL93 (talk) 17:19, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
