> Is their a way to pull the Authors name from the User Login on the Mac into an
InDesign Document?

tell application "System Events"
    set userName to name of current user
    --or
    set userName to full name of current user
end tell

 This will get you the name of the logged in user.

>From there you could create a text frame on the page and insert the
variable.

Let us know if you need help with that part.
