However, if you created an empty book titled "Metadata" for each Author with a set of metadata (e.g. Language:French; Tags:Melodrama, 19th Century; etc), then after adding a book by that author you would press Alt+A to list that authors books and use the Metadata Copy and Paste options to duplicate the metadata from the "Metadata" book to the book just added. This will replace any existing values.
To make it easy, I have the Keyboard Shortcuts for Metadata Copy and Paste options set to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V respectively. And I had to set the Exclude fields when copy/pasting metadata tweak appropriately.

Thanks for the suggestion, you found a very curious method to assign author based's metadata. I don't think I'll go for it, for now I just assigned nationality by creating a new custom column of tags, used in combination with user categories for now it works fine! thanks though, it's a valid option, maybe for bigger libraries.
