Since you are producing e-books for distribution I suggest that you follow the EPUB specification for creator names. An author is considered to be a "creator" in EPUB.

The creator element SHOULD contain the name of the creator as the Author intends it to be displayed to a user.
An example given is:

Quote:
<dc:creator id="creator">Haruki Murakami</dc:creator>
