The challenge in writing about a story in which the reader already knows, or thinks they know , the characters, events and ultimate outcome, is how to make it fresh, inspiring and unexpected without compromising the themes and principles at the core of the story. How does the writer avoid popular perceptions, traditions and clichés to create a work in which the characters live, breathe, and interact with uncompromising realism on each page? Aspiring authors of Biblical and Historical Fiction could take a few pointers from author Tosca Lee who has successfully accomplished all this and more in her novel Havah: The Story of Eve. Havah, (the Hebrew name for Eve) finally gives the first woman her own voice and takes the reader through her amazing journey.
