I’ll admit to some bias when starting this book. Tosca is a friend of mine, and one of my favorite writers. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m delving into a new category of blog posts today, one I’ve been eager to begin for quite awhile, that of “myth made fact.” It’s a topic near to my heart, as I seek to create my own stories that reflect the One True Story, yet are set in time periods when the population had other stories, other myths, to explain their place in the cosmos.

The phrase comes from a favorite and oft-quoted essay by C.S. Lewis, “Myth Became Fact” and from his spiritual memoir/autobiography, Surprised by Joy. Lewis was a master of the classics and of myth, and when he came to Christ later in life, part of his conversion entailed reconciling all he knew of mythology with the biblical narrative.]]></description>
