Your XML is not well formed. I corrected the XML to:
<author>
<FirstName>Jane</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</LastName>
<FirstName>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</LastName>
<FirstName>Howard</FirstName>
<LastName>Johnson</LastName>
</author>
The following stylesheet will work:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/author">
<authors>
<xsl:for-each select="FirstName">
<author>
<xsl:copy-of select=". | following-sibling::LastName[1]" />
</author>
</xsl:for-each>
</authors>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The DTD that I am trying to validate to requires that each person be
inside of their own <author> element like this:
<author>
<Firstname>Jane</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</Doe>
</author>
<author>
<Firstname>John</FirstName>
<LastName>Doe</Doe>
</author>
<author>
<Firstname>Howard</FirstName>
<LastName>Johnson</Doe>
</author>
Is this possible using an XSLT and if so, how do you do this?
