In the Tag Browser, simply (right-click) rename the author to what you want

Copy the 'good' one from a book
Then paste it into the Rename box
Calibre will do the rest

I 'normalize' author and series names like this (metadata sources are inconsistent) Be wary that the difference is really the same Author, I have run into a couple that were truly different people
