I have a book (webnovel) I have added to my Library that has the Authors name with the word "with" in the name.

Author Name: Light Dust with a Smile

But Calibre sees it as 2 authors: Light Dust & A. Smile. (It is assuming the word "with" is a separator for 2 authors names.

IF I try to use the Manage Authors tool, it changes: "Light Dust with a Smile" to "Light Dust % a Smile" and I get a error popup saying I cant change 1 author name into 2 author names. (it is still assuming "with" is a seperator for 2 authors) and substitutes % for "with" in the author's name.

For now I have replaced the spaces with _ so I have: Light_Dust_with_a_Smile for the Author.

How do I get the Author field to recognize "Light Dust with a Smile" as a valid name? Can it be done?
