Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

If Author image is not available on Amazon, it would be great if we had the options of choosing to search Google or Goodreads for an image.

Why would this be helpful?

As many authors on Amazon does not have uploaded an image of themselves, this would be a great additional database source.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

When you click the pencil to edit an author, a pop up appears. Underneath the Name field, add two boxes. One called Provider and one called Search. This would be similar to how you can manually search for a cover image when editing individual books.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v.2.17.3

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I'm not aware of any public APIs we can use and we aren't setting up web scraping. If you know of a public API we can use we can re-open
