This indicates that you have the book title accidentally listed in the author name for those books.

I guess the better question is: Why book information and author information in two different files?

All this info is in a single database file -metadata.db

So for example I see a folder named: Anne McCaffrey then later down the list I find one titled Maelstrom (one of her books) Is there a reason for this?

Do a search in the GUI for "Maelstrom" - you'll find a record with that as the Author. Fix it.

Because when I look in Anne McCaffrey's folder I see "Maelstrom" and when I open that folder I see it in epub and lit formats.

This means you have two records for Maelstrom: one correct record and one incorrect.
(You may want to merge them, or maybe, just delete one. - It's also possible that you had a crash. If you don't find two records, then you have an orphan folder - there are ways to fix it.)
