When you call the set method of Author, the line is "Author = value", you
are in fact calling the set method of Author again, and then again, etc,
until you get a stack overflow. If you had a member variable
named 'author', then 'author = value' would work. I would expect you would
get a stack overflow calling the get method of Author as well, since
there, you are continuously calling the get method of Author in "return
Author", which is just recursively calling itself over and over...
