We go through the alphabet and name an author that starts with the next letter.
A—> Ayn Rand * Atlas Shrugged
or
A—> Alcott, Louisa May * Little Women
Giving a book title allows us to re-use authors by changing books.
One entry per person, unless you flub something up, of have an author for the following letter that’s just too good to pass up.
The next Jelly will name an author that starts with the letter B. And so on…

I feel like I’m cheating because I’m using the christian name first and somehow that doesn’t feel quite right. I do have an author beginning with Y but I used it in the last Author game so that doesn’t feel quite right either.
