   	Author Pages actually don't have "friends". They have followers. An   
   individual on FB can have friends; if you just type in the name and get   
   to their page, there should be a big green button that says "Add Friend"   
   on it. If you don't see that, it's probably not a personal page.   
      
   	And in general, no, not all your FB friends get your posts, especially   
   as you get more of them. FB has an algorithm that decides how many of   
   them actually get your posts. Now, if they're actually your friends and   
   physical acquaintances, it's likely that the 10% to 50% of them that see   
   YOUR post SHARE it, so that all or most of your friends end up seeing it   
   somehow, and probably then see that you posted it. But in fact, FB is   
   controlling how many people see your stuff, especially if you're trying   
   to advertise something. If you have five thousand people following, it's   
   quite possible that not even a thousand of them see each post.
