After fiddling around with this some more I figured it out.

I changed my code to this:

```
{{ if isset .Params "author" }}
        {{ range $index, .Site.Data.authors }}
            {{ if eq $.Params.author $index.author }}
                <img src="{{ .thumbnail }}" alt="{{ .name }}">
                <p>{{ .name }}</p>
                <p>{{ .bio }}</p>
                <a href="{{ .linkedin }}"></a> 
                <a href="{{ .twitter }}"></a>
            {{ end }}
        {{ end }}
    {{ end }}

```

Now it works how it should.
