AARON TALWAR is the publisher and co-owner of Dark Coast Press, a literary fiction publishing house in Seattle (www.darkcoastpress.com). He has been profiled in The Stranger and Shelf Awareness as an exciting, up-and-coming indie publisher. Aaron has an unhealthy exuberance for good books, Guinness, and hockey. The fact that he was born and raised in New Jersey contributes to his foul mouth and obtuse sense of humor. He lives in Seattle, WA.
