I think there are several issues in your schema and queries.

First, the schema can't efficiently return the single newest post for every
author. It can efficiently return the newest N posts for a particular
author.

This is happening due to the incorrect use of minTimeuuid() function. All
of your created_at values are equal so you're essentially getting 2 (order
not defined) values that have the lowest created_at value.

The minTimeuuid() function is mean to be used in the WHERE clause of a
SELECT statement often with maxTimeuuid() to do BETWEEN sort of queries on
timeuuid values.

To get most recent posts by a particular author, you'll need statements
more like this:

cqlsh:test> insert into posts(author,created_at,entry) values
('john',now(),'This is an old entry by john'); cqlsh:test> insert into
posts(author,created_at,entry) values ('john',now(),'This is a new entry by
john'); cqlsh:test> insert into posts(author,created_at,entry) values
('mike',now(),'This is an old entry by mike'); cqlsh:test> insert into
posts(author,created_at,entry) values ('mike',now(),'This is a new entry by
mike');

and then you can get posts by 'john' ordered by newest to oldest as:

cqlsh:test> select author, created_at, dateOf(created_at), entry from posts
where author = 'john' limit 2 ;

 author | created_at                           | dateOf(created_at)       |
entry
--------+--------------------------------------+--------------------------+------------------------------
   john | 7cb1ac30-df85-11e3-bb46-4d2d68f17aa6 | 2014-05-19 11:43:36-0700 |
 This is a new entry by john
   john | 74bb6750-df85-11e3-bb46-4d2d68f17aa6 | 2014-05-19 11:43:23-0700 |
This is an old entry by john
