"5 Days: How I Survived Hurricane Katrina" is a published novel that's available, internationally, through major retailers such as Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. The book definitely meets the requirements for inclusion Wikipedia. The book has been featured on the Old Dominion University homepage in 2009(http://www.odu.edu/ao/news/index.php?todo=details&todo=details&id=17226). It is my hope that you would purchase a copy and leave your critique online. Thank you for reviewing my post! NewOrleansNaitve (talk) 21:45, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page 5 Days: How I Survived Hurricane Katrina do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 22:25, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
