I suspect that you can't. Your sample would require your computer to be able distinguish the author name in that - separated string from the book name. You might be able to say use the last two character blocks as the author name but that falls apart as soon as an author such as Tuf-Voyaging-George-R-R-Martin.epub or Naked-in-Death-J-D-Robb.azw3 comes along.
