Dustin as soon as I added my name as an author credit on my blog I started ranking for it. I've even been found on occasion when someone types vangogh, which I find amazing.
Don't give up on the efforts. Sometimes fluctuations in rank are temporary. Search engines trying something new to see how it works. it could be a more permanent algorithm change or it could be less trust is seen in some of your backlinks or simply your competition putting in more effort.
How far have you dropped for the terms? If it's just a few places there isn't really anything to worry about. You can get that back with some more work. If you've disappeared completely for the terms then first give it a little time to see if you come back and if not it might be there's something wrong with the site that can be fixed.
As long as you haven't been practicing manipulative seo the drops are likely fixed. If you have been manipulating things you can still fix it, but it's probably going to take longer.
