OUR AUTHORS

Aaron Goldfarb

Aaron earned a bachelor's degree in Television and Film from Syracuse University's Newhouse School. After college, Goldfarb relocated to New York City where he found success with two early scripts, "The Good Life" and "Dandy" which won a Slamdance writing competition. During the time, Goldfarb and former writing partner Tim Calpin ("Assassination of a High School President") were hired by Kismet Films to adapt Michael Raccanelli's stage play into what became the feature script "Open and Shut." Writing on his own for the past several years, Goldfarb has produced numerous film, television, and stage works, most notably "The Honey Trap." Shifting to prose in the last few years, Goldfarb started a successful blog (www.theviceblog.com) and began writing short stories, many of which will appear in his upcoming collection "The Cheat Sheet." "How to Fail: The Self Hurt Guide" is his first novel.

Briana Regan

Since graduating from St. Joseph’s University, Briana Regan has pursued freelance writing jobs, internships, a Masters degree, worked as a waitress and receptionist and has also lived in three different sections of Philadelphia – all in two years. However, her writing has remained the constant, reflecting a satirical yet honest style. Briana’s debut book of short stories is a depiction of expatriate life and experience in Hong Kong, where she spent much of her childhood and adolescence. The ambiguity and aesthetics of both the characters and Hong Kong create a setting of unease and wonder for the reader, which Briana hopes to continue in future works.

Norman Shabel

A graduate of Rutgers University Law School, Norman Shabel has vigorously pursued the rights of clients on such legal issues involving murder, fraud, and national class actions. He brings this experience and dedication to each novel he writes. Crafted as a legal writer for many years, he allows readers to experience the trials and tribulations of characters who are admirable yet flawed, earthy and alive.

Arleen Shabel

For most of her life, Arleen has been an essayist, poet, and painter. She brings these great passions to her books, inviting the reader to share in her pursuits of life’s greatest pleasures. With her most recent title, Bogie Sees Paris, a photo essay, she places the spotlight on her beloved Maltese as he romps through the City of Lights. Her love of travel and all things French continues in her upcoming memoir Under Paris Rooftops. Arleen and her husband collaborate to tell the tale of a wide-eyed American couple who realize their dream of living in the romantic European capital.
