I don't think I am. There is not a single solitary book in the whole of
the Hebrew Bible that names an author. And I don't care what the colophons
of various manuscripts say to the contrary. Hence, your "authors" will all
be imaginary- like the characters of Tolkeins books or Lewis's chronicles
of Narnia.
