In this Q&A, we'll chat with bestselling author Tosca Lee about the process and practice of writing the science fiction genre. Aspiring writers and sci-fi fans, this is a great panel for you!
Tosca Lee is the award-winning,
New York Times, CBA, and IndieBound bestselling author of
Iscariot,
The Legend of Sheba,
Demon: A Memoir;
Havah: The Story of Eve; and
Forbidden: The Books of Mortals series with New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker. A lifelong world adventure traveler, Tosca lives with her husband and four children in Nebraska.
Lee is also known for the Bathory duology:
The Progeny and
Firstborn. Filled with adrenaline, romance, and reversals, The Progeny is the present-day saga of a 400-year-old war between the mysterious descendants of “Blood Countess” Elizabeth Bathory, the most prolific female serial killer of all time, and the Scions—a secret society dedicated to erasing every one of her descendants. The story revolves around central character Audra Ellison who, in a bid to protect a powerful secret, has elected to erase the last two years of her memory and start over in the North Woods of Maine until the day she’s found and forced to go on the run—a journey that takes her to the underground corridors of Europe she tried to leave in her past.
Firstborn, the sequel to
The Progeny, won Realm Makers 2018 Book of the Year.
In late 2018, the CW announced that it would be developing a series based on
The Progeny. The adaptation will be written by Chris Roberts, and produced by Edward Burns’ Marlboro Road Gang Productions, Radar Pictures and CBS TV Studios.
Her latest work, the pandemic thriller
The Line Between, has received praise for its gripping drama. Patrick Lee,
NYT Bestselling Author of
Runner, described The Line Between as “a fast-paced and deeply human story. Tosca Lee has put together a terrifying apocalyptic scenario, made all the more real through the eyes of a protagonist who comes to life on the page.”
