香港知名作家倪匡於近日由於身體狀況長期欠佳，不幸逝世，享壽87歲。他生前著有數百部小說和故事、還有300多部電影劇本。1935年出生於上海，倪匡在華語世界享有盛譽。，尤其是他的《衛斯理系列》科幻小說，更有不少內容涉及外星人或其他超自然生物。
在媒體上，倪匡經常與武俠作家金庸、作詞人黃霑、專欄作家蔡瀾，一起被譽為為20世紀下半葉的香港「四大才子」之一。 上世紀50年代被迫逃離中國大陸的倪匡，也是中國共產黨的終生反對者。
Author意思是作者，若當成動詞使用，就是「撰寫，寫作；編寫」
例句：He has authored more than 30 books. 他已經寫了30多本書。
至於author和writer的差別，author是特定書籍的「作者」，writer則是泛稱「作家」這個職位，例句：He is a veteran writer who is the author of two books on French history. 他是一名資深作家，也是兩部法國歷史著作的作者。
