I first heard of Tosca when Ted Dekker announced their collaboration, and while I don't necessarily subscribe to the "Any freind of Ted's is a freind of mine" theory, I did start looking into her and have been very intrigued by what I have seen. I haven't yet read one of her books, but I'm looking forward to it (when I finish another Ted/co-authored book).<br />Also, as the father of two girls, with one on the way, who also can't stop myself from writing, I love finding strong models for my daughters. Both my girls are talented singers, but have been working on their own stories. My youngest (age 11) told me that one day she hopes to be like me and write about stories that talk of God. I encourage them to write, but seeing someone else who does it sometimes makes a bigger impact.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03760196484246767303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-27054383809644759542010-08-05T23:23:33.501-05:002010-08-05T23:23:33.501-05:00I met Tosca earlier this year at Ted Dekker's ...I met Tosca earlier this year at Ted Dekker's Chicago Gathering.

I've followed Ted's work from almost the beginning, so his diving into an entire series with Tosca is, to me, a strong affirmation of her heart, her passion, and her work.<br /><br />I have been following Tosca on Facebook for awhile, and see a kindred spirit that isn't afraid of the tougher issues of faith. I love the periodic authorcam pics and the glimpses she shares with us of her life as a writer. I recently won a copy of Havah, and Tosca took the time to message me on FB. I really appreciated that small gesture. <br /><br />So now I'm trying to win a copy of Demon, too. My email is: <br />lpiel@kc.rr.com<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Laurie PielJohn & Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414942707640374074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-23407956397847902512010-08-04T20:59:54.977-05:002010-08-04T20:59:54.977-05:00I count Tosca as one of my favorite authors.

Not only was it breathtakingly well-written, but the way that she pulled together the narrative of the parts of Eve's life left off the pages of Scripture amazed me. It made me look at the story in Genesis in a whole new way.<br /><br />I could keep gushing here. Instead I'll go back to gushing to all my friends about this incredible author whose books they <i>have</i> to read. Go, Tosca, go! I can't wait to read <i>Iscariot</i> and <i>Demon</i> is at the top of my list of books to buy.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17395699574182189503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-13257035814665375842010-08-04T19:46:28.235-05:002010-08-04T19:46:28.235-05:00Hi Jen -

In a Barnes and Noble, she lovingly took Demon off a shelf, saying, "This is my friend, Tosca, and Demon is an incredible book." <br /><br />She was right. I've not been the same since reading Demon.

Every person reading this needs to hightail it to Borders or Amazon and get that book. Seriously. It's that good.<br /><br />As far as Demon - I keep meaning to get it, but haven't yet! I'm super stoked to read this book. <br /><br />Even if Tosca wasn't this amazing author, I'd still love her, because she gave me LOADS of help when I asked her for researching help for the novel I'm working on now, which is about a model. So thanks again Tosca, and I can't wait to read your other work!Katie Gansherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09150375338556869812noreply@blogger.com
