You could use create-groups-bind-regex-dispatcher, a macro I wrote just
for this pourpose: extracting parameters from URLs.  See the contrib/
directory, and the README file.

In short, you could append this to your *dispatch-table* (untested, the
regex may be wrong :-):

    (create-groups-bind-regex-dispatcher "^\\/authors\\/([^\\/])$"
      (author) authors-dispatch-fn)

And a dispatch-fn like this, that will take the author out of the URL as
a keyword argument:

    (defun authors-dispatch-fn (&key author)
       (do-stuff author))

You could (well, should) also url-decode the argument before passing it
to the dispatch-fn:
          
    (create-groups-bind-regex-dispatcher "^\\/authors\\/([^\\/])$"
      ((url-decode author)) authors-dispatch-fn)
