The title of the make-believe book is a clue for picking the "punny" author. As you read an author's name, listen for how it sounds and how it might relate to a title. You might have to play with the sounds for some (initials too). Spelling is not always exact for the intended word because it's meant to be a fun play on sounds.
Examples - "Black Tie Fundraisers" by Charity Ball; and "Spices Around the World" by Corey Ander (coriander)
