You should inline Books, not Author.
So:
class BookInline(admin.TabularInline):
model = Book
class AuthorAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
inlines = [BookInline, ]
and then you'll be able to create books in the same time as creating
authors.
(Books form already has author (foreign key) field without any
additional action).
