It's possible that:
* The name is misspelled. Double check the spelling to see if you've made an error.
* It's a less known author. There might be a writer with a similar name that you're thinking of. If you remember any other details, like the genre of their work, it could help identify them.
* It's a pseudonym. Many authors use pen names, so it's possible this is a pseudonym for a more established writer.
Please provide more context or details about the author or their work, and I can try to help you find them.
