It's possible you've misremembered the name or that there are some variations in the spelling. To help me find the author you're thinking of, could you please provide:
* Any other information you remember about the author or their work:
* What kind of books did they write? (genre, subject matter)
* Do you remember any specific titles or characters?
* Do you know approximately when they were active as a writer?
* Are there any other spellings of the name that you've considered?
With more information, I can try to help you find the author you're looking for!
