How would I cite in APA style, a book with one author on the cover, but different authors in each chapter?
Q. I need to cite something from the author of chapter one Frascara. The book only has one author Bennett; however, each chapter in the book is written by varying authors, Bennett only wrote the introduction from what I can tell.

A. The name on the cover is the editor who collected the different authors' works, so you cite his/her name parenthetically, then in the bibliography, you delineate the contributors under the book's title.

What is a really good author to do a high school research report on?
Q. I've thought of Stephen King; does anyone else have any other suggestions as to a really good author whom I can readily find available information on who has written some great novels? It has to be a novelist, unlike Edgar Allen Poe, according to my teacher.

A. H.P.Lovecraft. He wrote some brilliant horror (and inspired Stephen King, among others), and was quite the eccentric. You can find info on him at the following pages, if you'd like to skim it and see if he looks like someone who would interest you:
