Thank you for helping. I took 500 folders containing 1154 books. 1 file did not convert due to excessive file name length. The ones with 2 parts or 3 parts to the author names work great. Those with a single part or with 4 parts are the ones which fail. Here are examples of failures:
(Graf), Leo Tolstoy-The Death Of Ivan Ilyich_And, Master An.epub
A Time For War, A Time For Peace - Keith R. A. Decandido.epub
Agincourt_Henry V And The Battle That Made England - Juliet R. V. Barker.epub
Apocalypse - Keith R. A. Decandido.epub
Articles Of The Federation - Keith R. A. Decandido.epub
Diplomatic Implausibility - Keith R. A. Decandido.epub
Doctor Who_Dying In The Sun - Jon De Burgh Miller.epub

I found that the 1 word author is generally wrong. When I open the file with Calibri, I see the rest of the author name and can correct it. There are a few exceptions, but please do not spend time trying to solve this issue. What does seem to be needed is a way to handle 4 tokens as a part of the author name. This could be initials for full names. An example would be George R. R. Martin.

This single rule will handle any number (two or more) of author tokens:
Replace expression "^(.*)\s+-((?:\s+\S+)+)\s+(\S+)$" with "$3,$2-$1" (skip extension)
Regarding the one failing due too very long path, you should check out ReNamer 7.9 with built-in support for handling long paths.

The long path failure was not due to the Renamer, but in the Hamster eBook converter. My last batch had a few instances of double spaces, but again, this was an error on my part. For my current batch, I have 100 folders containing 206 books. It is interesting that each folder contained the correct author name, but for the actual book title, they had the format Title, Author instead of the more common Author, Title. (I have 6700 more folders to process). I am happy to report, the entire batch renamed correctly! Thank you for a job well done.
