My husband showed me this thing Google has in its portfolio (that portfolio you just know is titled “World Domination”). I thought you might like to use it to follow authors you like or other things.
You just put in the search term you like (my loyal husband put in “Elle Casey” – yay, husband!), the frequency of updates you want, and a couple other parameters, and then click “Create Alert”. Once a day (or more often if you want), you'll be emailed links to Google search engine collections based on your search terms.
Here's the link if you want to make one: http://www.google.com/alerts
Here's a screen shot of the email he received after signing up for the alert:
