An even easier way would be to combine the suggestions of both @BLUEFROG and @meowky. Tag each document with the author and use a smart groups to list all documents for that author tag.
Using tags you can also achieve an author view in the tag list in the lefthand navigation pane of the database. Create a tag group within the tag list (which you can make just a group not a hierarchical tag) and put all the author tags inside it. This will give you a list of all authors and inside it all documents with that author tag. I tend to organise my tags like this (tag groups for tags of person, document type, etc) so they aren’t all jumbled up in a single long list in the navigation pane.
