Photos for authors are generally problematic as it comes down to copyright.

I've moved the book to the existing author profile which includes his middle inital, but anyone searching for the book will be able to find it just using the name on the cover.

From the edit page:
"Copyright is important!
So before you upload an image, make sure that either:

You own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself)
You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed the image under a free license
You can prove that the image is in the public domain
You believe, and state, a fair use rationale for the specific use of the image that you intend"

basically you have to be able to state what the copyright is, and we have to list the details.
