Hi. I have a large collection of ebooks where "Blackmask Lives" is appended to the author. For example, the author of the book The Door Through Space is Marion Zimmer Bradley, but it shows up as Blackmask Lives & Marion Zimmer Bradley. I have about 800 ebooks like this. Is there a way to delete the Blackmask Lives part on the author field without having to do it for each book individually?

Alternatively, if this is not possible, could someone point me in the right direction as to where to look up how to write a program that can do this (I have limited programming experience).

Thanks.
