[Tex/LaTex] How to force only one chapter to start on even page

book-designchapterssectioning

I have quite a long book in which chapters SHOULD start on odd pages. But there is final, About author, chapter which I want to be printed on reverse side of previous chapter page. In other words, I want that last chapter, and only this one, to break rule about starting only on odd page and instead I want this one chapter to start on even page. I can't use openany option of book class, because that will cause all chapters to start on any page and that is not what I want.

Example:

\documentclass[final]{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Regular chapter}
\lipsum[1-10]
\chapter{Next regular chapter}
\lipsum[5-10]
\chapter{Another regular chapter}
\lipsum[1-2]
\chapter{About author (it should start on first free page - which is even one, not odd one)}
\lipsum[3-4]
\end{document}

In this example, chapter 2 starts on page 5 (odd page) and chapter 3 starts on page 7, which is all good. But, chapter 4 also opens on odd page (page 9). I want chapter 4 to start on page 8 instead, so when book is printed, chapter 4 is on reverse page of chapter 3 page.

So, how can I tell LaTeX to start that one chapter on even page?
