Zipped right through, except for the second word "RGIC". Even with the two middle letters, it took a process of elimination before I figured out what it was. Three minutes or so without that second word ... another minute to figure it out.

Never heard of the author ... luckily, the last name came out completely from all of the other words. The first name came out with three of four letters and, as a result, was easily filled in.

3 min. First word is one letter long so is easy to guess, 50% chance; in conjunction with 3rd word by grammar.
4th word is notable for letters 2-3-4.
Get those and you’re off to the races...

Good job. I didn’t think it was that easy...
