The Dreams of Tosca Lee - And HAVAH Giveaway!

It's my pleasure to introduce today's talented - and quirky - guest, author Tosca Lee.

Two years ago, I had a vivid dream that my sister was pregnant. I talked to her on the phone the next day. “Nope, not pregnant as far as I know,” she said. I had no idea they were actually trying at that time.

And she had no idea that she was, indeed, pregnant.

Near the same time, I had a dream that a girlfriend in Hungary was pregnant with a girl. She got pregnant with a girl. I had a dream last year that an old boyfriend and his wife were having a baby. I got a note just last month that they had a baby a few months ago.

I don’t have children of my own—something that surprised a recent reader of Havah—but I seem to have a penchant for knowing when others will!


ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tosca Lee is the author of Demon: A Memoir--a ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Silver Award winner, ACFW Book of the Year second-place winner, and Christy award finalist. Her second novel, Havah: The Story of Eve (October 2008) was just named one of ChristianFictionReview.com’s top picks of 2008.


ABOUT THE BOOK - Havah: The Story of Eve

Myth and legend shroud her in mystery. Now hear her story.

From paradise to exile, from immortality to the death of Adam. Visit the dawn of mankind through the eyes of Eve—the woman first known as…

Havah.

"A passionate and riveting story of the Bible’s first woman and her remarkable journey after being cast from paradise. Lee’s superior storytelling will have readers weeping for all that Havah forfeited by a single damning choice."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Once every few years, I come across a book of such scope, such beauty, that it defies description. Havah bridges mankind’s beginnings with the restless state of our present age. . . . Havah is a novel with boundless imagination.”
— ERIC WILSON, author of Field of Blood and Fireproof
