CYNBAXTERHi - for Book 1, may we utilize an author's pseudonym to match an artist?
i.e. matching the used pseudonym "Richard Stark" to an artist rather than the author's real name of Donald Westlake.

The default rule is that the name recorded on the Goodreads book page will be used. So if Richard Stark is the author listed on the book's Goodreads page, then the book would work (assuming you're trying to match Richard or Stark). If the author is listed as Donald Westlake then the book won't work.
Hi,I found that there is an Albert in Sweetwater, so would it work to read a book by Melissa Albert for book 1?

Yes, the names can be in any position (first, middle, last). So Melissa Albert is a match for Albert Moore of Sweetwater.

No, we're using the days as set out in the Wiki contents so days are:
1 Friday, August 15 to Saturday, August 16
2 Saturday, August 16 to Sunday, August 17
3 Sunday, August 17 to Monday, August 18
Good question, though, I'll clarify in the task description.
Just want to clarify re artist:For example on Friday Aug15 - to Saturday Aug 16 we have
RICHIE HAVENS
- Richie Haven - guitar, vocals
- Paul "Deano" Williams – guitar, vocals
- Daniel Ben Zebulon – congas
Could could I use author Daniel Silva to match the Daniel who is playing congas?
T.I.A.
