Remember that any book on the subject helps promote our hobby and an entry level book for beginners is hard to get wrong. There is a wealth of information on the net about starting the hobby. She's done something I'm too lazy too - put it into a book. 
This author might have a presence under a different name but I'll repeat, it would be great to see some films done by the author, or associated with the author. She has done a few books on lego:
SARAH HERMAN s a freelance writer and editor with a number of non-fiction books under her belt.

She has also written for magazines including Star Wars Insider, Torchwood, and The Lab Magazine. Her first book DOES ANYTHING EAT !@#$? sold more than 30,000 copies.

I'm guessing she has an interest in lego and brick films and perhaps someone close to her is engaged in the hobby.
edit: Here we go - she is or she's married to a lego nut - I mean husband. 
She lives in England with her LEGO and her husband.
