Yes, include an author profile link that explains the connection or include a reference when you post.

How about books with multiple authors where one is on the list? Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is by J.K. Rowling and two others.

No, sorry, all of the authors would need to be on the list for a book to work for this task.
