The problem I have with Lily being the Author is that she appears to be roughly the same age as Emma. Now, As we all know (particularly form that previous episode) Appearances can be deceiving, so I totally won't discount that possibility. But given the facts that we know right now, the conclusion that I draw is that Lily is not the author, but is in fact Mal's lost daughter. Here are the facts, as I see them:

1. Lily is roughly the same age as Emma.

2. Lily is living in an adoptive family.

3. Emma and Lily both live in the LWM at the same time.

4. Snow and Mal were pregnant at approximately the same time (Mal probably just a little before Snow). Meaning their children would be about the same age, with Mal's being just a month or so older.

5. Lily has a very distinguishing Birth Mark.

What we know about Author that is relevant is that Blue seems to know of their existance, and that they have been around for a while. The description does not seem to apply to Lily.

Funny, and totally random, thought. They are going to get WIlliam Shatner to make an appearance, and he (or rather the character he portrays) will be the author.
