     • GET /authors/:id: Retrieve a specific author by ID.
     • PUT /authors/:id: Update an existing author by ID.
     • DELETE /authors/:id: Delete an author by ID.

2. Controller Integration:

   • Integrated the routes with corresponding controller functions to handle the business logic for each operation.

3. Error Handling:

   • Added basic error handling to ensure that appropriate responses are sent back to the client in case of failures.

4. Testing:
