Hi temm,
No, not that I'm aware of since Apple prevents Mac OS X from legally running on other machines. There's always a chance though that they could eventually release a Windows version of iBooks Author, you never know.
In the short term though your best bet is to get a Mac.

If you do a search for 'Hackintosh', you'll find a wealth of information about running Snow Leopard or other forms of OSX on a PC - you can dual boot the 2 operating systems. Macs and PCs are built on the same PC architecture these days, so it's a lot easier to install OSX on a Windows machine than it once was.
I'm thinking of getting a PC specifically to turn into a Hackintosh, just so I can use iBooks Author and start developing iOS Apps... it seems a far more cost effective way than buying a Mac! I already have Snow Leopard from an attempt I made to turn a laptop into a Hackintosh a couple of years ago - it unfortunately had an AMD processor and ATI graphics card, whereas Macs use Intel processors and NVidia graphics cards.
