That said, one of DaltonST's plugins might be able to help. They provide a large grab bag of features. I have no idea if one of them might be a way to express cross-book queries.
If you choose to go with adding information (the "tag"), I suggest that you dedicate a custom column to it. That way you don't pollute the tags with what is really administrative information. It also could make maintenance easier.

chaley - can this be done (maybe we've been here before)
- create a User Category for Important Authors,
- interrogate the Important Authors list in a true/false composite column template (function mode maybe ?) -- #is_important/Is Important
- then use the value of the #is_important composite column in the icon rule.
