Try
#+AUTHOR: This is *Me*!
The point is that you can have Org objects within AUTHOR (or TITLE, or
DATE). See "secondary string" definition in org-element.el header.
This is orthogonal to the fact that multiple lines are not allowed. For
that, see BEHAVIOUR item in `org-export-options-alist'. In particular,
you can compare "TITLE" and "AUTHOR" entries.
