Eve of a Hundred Midnights recounts that story of two newlywed journalists who together endured bombs in wartime China and were chased by Japanese forces across the Pacific.\n\n \n\n Eliot Treichel is the winner of the 2017 Readers Choice Award for hisbook\, A Series of Small Maneuvers (Ooligan Press). He is also the author of the story collection Close Is Fine\, which received the Wisconsin Library Association Literary Award. Originally from the Northern Wisconsin\, he's lived in Oregon since 2001. He currently teaches writing at Lane Community College in Eugene.\n\nBook description: After Emma inadvertently causes an accident that claims her father's life on a wilderness canoe trip\, she struggles to reconcile her sense of identity with memories of their strained relationship.
