Just a clarification but in MARC 21, author should be mapped to 100$a, not 245 which is for Title information.
245$c is for responsibility statement and may contain author information, but it may also contain lots of other information. It is not normally indexed with author information either. Unless you can map the same information to two locations, put Author in 100$a and leave it out of 245.
