I'm certain that the author hasn't ever written the future or even rewrote the past. The book for all purposes given is a record of the tales to help the savior believe. Blue knew about this in mid-season three. There isn't an all powerful author. Just a being with possibly a magic quill that writes and draws occurrences down as he looks through his crystal ball (or in Zelena's case crystal floor, if she could, why not the author?)

There actually is no reason to look for an author, since he never wrote the future. Regina just came up to that conclusion by randomness. Now, everyone has joined in for an odd reason. I love Regina, but there is no possible realistic way to somehow blame the book of past events on an unsatisfied future. Not like the book made you do it!
