The best clue to find is a place of birth or a place where the author currently resides. To find these organizations, check in a yellow pages guide like BigBook , which allows searching by yellow-page category. The local newspaper where the author currently lives or was born may also have articles or reviews of the book. If the book was recently released, you may want to check on the Internet to see if the town's newspaper might be available online. If not, check with your local library to see how you can access these local newspapers.
Magazines are also a good place to look.
They may include reviews or interviews with the author. To find out if there is an article in a magazine, you'll need to search a periodical index first. Your local library will have access to these, either in paper, CD-ROM, or online. Uncover Web is an online periodical index that you can search for free on the Internet. Just search on the author's name or the title of the book.
