How to do a substring to extract the last character of the string

Hi guys, I am new to UI Path and I am trying to do a substring to retrieve the last character of the string.

At present, the string is assigned as below:
author = “You searched for Author X”

I would like to extract the Author’s name → X and it is the last character of the string.

In order to do that, I would need to use substring.

First, I created a variable to store the length of the string, author.
length = author.length

Next, I did a substring as below.
authorname = author.Substring(length, length-1)

It returned an error saying that
Assign: Index and length must refer to a location within the string.
Parameter name: length

I don’t understand why I am getting this error. Can someone advise me?
