It's possible that:
* There's a typo: Perhaps the name is slightly different. Double-check the spelling.
* The author is relatively unknown: Some authors publish works that aren't widely circulated.
* The author has a different name: Perhaps they use a pen name or initials.
To help me find the right author, could you provide more information? For example:
* The genre of the book: Is it fiction, non-fiction, historical, etc.?
* The title of the book: Do you remember any of the book's title?
* Any other details: Do you remember anything else about the book, like its cover or the year it was published?
With more information, I might be able to help you find the author you're looking for.
