Answer 1

If you were including contact details for the author, then the

tag is appropriate:

• http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-address-element.html#the-address-element

But if it’s literally just the author’s name, there isn’t a specific tag for that. HTML doesn’t include much related to people.
