Hmmm, I think anywhere in the title/name makes it a bit too easy. ;) For those two let's say one word of the title has to start with the letter, not necessarily the first word. For author names, as it says in the rules: first, middle or last name (or initial) counts. They're hard to find, but they're out there. Hope that works for you? Good luck! :)

I used Rebecca Zanetti for my "Z' author and I love her Dark Protector series. Zoe Archer is another good Z author.
I used Xe Sands for my "Q" as author and she narrates. She narrated Jacquelyn Frank's nightwalker series as well as some others.
i actually thought "U" authors was the hardest, but I ended up with Lisa Unger because Ursula Le Guin kept putting me to sleep.

I also thought of those two Z authors and you are right, Ezi that U is hard. I also use Lisa Unger. I like her work. And I've also read Leon Uris. Love him!! And I have several Q authors as well. But X is causing me grief. I'll keep hunting.
