The Ultimate Authority can, of course:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill_%28novelist%29

"Churchill met and occasionally communicated with his namesake, the
British 
statesman and author Winston Churchill (no relation). Unlikely as it now 
seems, it was the American Churchill who became famous earlier, and in the

1890's he was much better known than his British namesake. The two are 
still occasionally confused (principally by booksellers); although the 
British Churchill wrote only one novel, being better known for his popular

histories. Interestingly, both Winston Churchills had political careers, 
and were both noted amateur painters. The coincidences extend to their 
tertiary education - both attended service colleges - and were at one
stage 
serving officers in their respective countries' armed forces."

Churchill doesn't seem a good fit with rasfw: "Churchill wrote in the 
naturalist style of literature, and some have called him the most 
influential of the American naturalists."
