Adding New Node while using Entity Reference?

I've set up my site so when I'm creating a new "article" node, I can assign it an author using a custom field I created. It populates using entity reference, so I'm able to add any author from the "author" content type. It's working great, however, if it's a new author's name I want to add, I can't just add it to the field. As far as I know, I have to open a new window and add the author as a node.

Is there a way I can just add a new author to this entity reference input and have it create a node for that author? I can later go in and add all the author details, such as email and bio, after the node has been created.

Thanks,
Brendan
