That's kind of how I am leaning at this point. in BLP, we saw the previous Author become imprisoned in the book. Given that we are, at this point only a few months away from the Dark Curse, and the Sorcerer sure seems to be able to see the future, they may not have had time to locate and appoint a new Author prior to the Curse. And the fall back in many situations is for the person that is responsible for assigning a task to cover the task while it is being assigned, meaning that the Apprentice probably covered the last few months of FTL stories.

Given August's knowledge of the Author, I wonder if, after the Curse, the Apprentice (or the Sorcerer) found August and started him on a training program to become the next Author.
