Sounds like you're on to something.

There has to be something that separates the title from the author. A simple space won't work because titles frequently have multiple words separated by a space and obviously virtually all authors have more than on name.

May someone can write an expression that breaks on the second space from the end. This way most authors would split correctly because they are two word names.

Good Luck.
