So where does one enter additional information about an author? For instance, his un-deadness? I was poking around at some of the many, many fun features of the site and noticed many of my books' authors listed as Unkown in the "Dead or Alive?" graph.

As I understand it: add something to the Birthdate field to show that they're alive. If you're not sure of the year, you can add the century instead (or, say, 20xx).

Adding anything to the Date of death field means that they're dead.

Thanks. I have found weak indication he was born in 1960.

P.S. I just posted another question about separating the author. The works listed seem to be long to three different authors.

Bugger. Sorry I did already. I'll save the info so I can add it back later. Do I need to request somewhere specific to have the author divided?
