Question: Who is the father of the author of "S" Is for Silence?
Context: "S" Is for Silence is the 19th novel in Sue Grafton's "Alphabet" series of mystery novels and features Kinsey Millhone, a private eye based in Santa Teresa, California.  In a departure from the series format, this novel is set in alternating chapters both in the "past" of 1953 and the "present" of 1987. Linda Gillard lives in the Scottish Highlands and has been an actress, journalist and teacher.  She is the author of seven novels, including STAR GAZING, short-listed in 2009 for "Romantic Novel of the Year" and HOUSE OF SILENCE, which became a Kindle bestseller and was selected by Amazon UK as one of their "Top Ten Best of 2011" in the Indie Author category. In mid-June 2007 Salman Rushdie, the British Indian novelist and author of the controversial novel "The Satanic Verses", was created a Knight Bachelor by Queen Elizabeth II.  This action brought much controversy around the world in many countries with Muslim majority populations.  Soon after the news of the knighthood was released protests against the honour were held in Malaysia and in Pakistan where effigies of the writer were publicly burnt.  On 19 June 2007, governments in both Pakistan and Iran summoned their British ambassadors to officially protest against the award.  While many groups and individuals have renewed the call to execute Rushdie, the author "is not commenting on the latest threats to his life.  It is understood he is anxious not to inflame the situation".  When asked by the Associated Press if his silence was at the request of the British government, Rushdie replied by e-mail stating "The British authorities have not asked me to do or not do anything.  I have simply chosen to remain out of this storm for the moment.  And nobody is turning anything down."  The media noted in July 2007 that Rushdie "has not been seen in public since the 16 June announcement of his knighthood."  However, he was photographed receiving his knighthood formally the next year at a ceremony which, breaking with tradition, did not announce in advance his attendance.
