Hi Shantra,
On your google+ page is your site shown there as a contributor?
As far as putting "author," it isn't something we tag personally. If you are using wordpress, your theme should be automatically showing as the author (not admin).
If you are listed on g+ as a contributor to your site you are verifying .... make sure the link for the site is formatted as http://yoursite.whatever as opposed to yoursite.whatever.
This may seem trivial and it is in my opinion, but I found when I changed that small thing google was able to verify me through the snippet tool.
I hope this helps!!!
