Increasingly we need the ability to select an associated website for any single Author established in Author Services. Once a bio page is created, it is available on any website with the organization. As such Google indexes these pages for multiple sites which results in inaccurate search results if you search for particular person, it appears from Google and the resulting link they are an Author for another website.

Thanks for the idea, Clay. I can certainly see how this could confuse Googlebots and humans alike!
We don't have anything in the works currently to update Author Service but will keep this in mind.
