I guess appending a query string to your resource collection path
would be OK, wouldn't it?
(ie: /authors/12/books?begin_with=foo)

Routes has support for nested collections:
http://routes.groovie.org/class-routes.base.Mapper.html#resource Look
at the parent_resource argument.
It seems to suggest that the standard would then be /authors/12/books.
