Taxonomy term block linked to a view
You need to have 2 views:

First view: Author's content:


View should be a page.
Add all the required field.
set path to be like author/%/content.
Add a contextual filter for the content taxonomy term field (author).


Second view: Authors list


View should be a block.
Add field with term ID (author ID) and mark it to be excluded.
Add field with term name (author name).
Mark the term name output field to be overridden as a link.
Set author name as link text
Set author/[tid]/content as link path. (You can find correct value for term id in token replacements)


P.S. If you use panels it will be a bit different.

P.P.S. You can use standard taxonomy/term/% for the "First view: Author's content" view.
