By default, this uses the author.html template, or you can specify your own in the options array.

    perch_blog_author(perch_get('author'), array(
        'template' => 'author_name.html',
    ));
?>

Pass true as the final argument to return the result rather than echoing it.

<?php
    $author = perch_blog_author(perch_get('author'), array(
        'template' => 'author_name.html',
    ), true);
?>
