Eva Brent

Eva Brent was inspired to write in the beginning of the 21st Century with the upsurge of WWII and Holocaust stories. With a European background, she was compelled to write a story of a child during that awful era vaguely based on family lore entitled Hallowed Quiets of the Past. It was love at first sight and she became a scribe.

The short stories—testing the waters—came next: The Last Waltz and Other Stories. They are just that; short stories; some shorter than others with varied subject and theme.

Crimes Follies Misfortunes, a large undertaking extending twenty years with political undertones, attempts to expose the power-games and corruption of small-time politicians, lobbyists, and their cronies. Six years of effort, anxiety, and struggle with words, sentences—oh! those commas—, and endeavor with concepts, went into the completion of Crimes Follies Misfortunes; it seemed never to be done.

Yet, The Lobbyist’s Wife, a quasi-sequel, a stand-alone tale, a political satire or farce is a tragicomic “tell-all” was born. It is hilarious yet sorrowful, courageous yet heartbreaking, and truthful as any story can be truthful considering the subjective interpretation of the writer. The novel’s foundation stands on the irrational persistence with which the characters are determined to win; the question is winning what and against whom.
