Enter to win THE PROGENY!
Enter to win 1 of 20 copies of The Progeny—currently in development for TV! The Goodreads Giveaway goes from now to July 8, 2020.

When you wake up, you remember nothing. There’s just a single note written to yourself before you forgot it all:
“Emily, it’s me. You. Don’t ask about the last two years. Don’t try to remember and don’t go digging. Your life depends on it. Other lives depend on it…
By the way, Emily isn’t your real name. You died in an accident. You paid extra for that.”
You start over in a remote place with a new name, a fresh life. Until the day a stranger tells you you’re being hunted for the sins of a royal ancestor who died centuries before you were born.
You don’t believe him until they come for you. Now you’re on the run.
Every answer you need lies in a past you chose to erase. The only thing you know for sure is that others are about to die and you need those memories back.
But first, you have to stay alive.
“Intriguing and romantic, I literally couldn’t put it down.” — Jennifer L. Armentrout # 1 New York Times bestselling author
*To purchase a copy, please visit your local bookseller or click here: https://bit.ly/ProgenyIndie. Independent bookstores across the country are in need of your business and would love to order and ship or curbside deliver you a copy!

Mighty Mercies
I’ll be honest: this quarantine has not been the hotbed of creativity I hoped. Some days, I’ve done little but the basics—feeding people, brushing my teeth, checking in with family. All while combating the weird lethargy of being frozen in flux: between projects and contracts, in the midst of an entire house remodel (as I write this there is literally a toilet in the middle of our basement), almost at the end of the boys’ school year, in a frozen spring on the cusp of selling my old townhome and moving the rest of everything to the farm. A lot of activity in the midst of stasis in which I’ve been grateful for great gifts—my faith and the love of a strong-shouldered partner—and small but mighty mercies: sprouts for the new vertical garden @thefarmerbryan is helping me build, homemade Mother’s Day cards and gifts from my kids, laughter at the weird antics of our dogs, the gifts and kindnesses passed between family members in the form of food and errands, nightly Story Time with my readers who have become to me as old friends, the invention of AirPods, eBooks, and movies, the joy of Sunday drives, sunshine, birdseed, and the sound of rain. I thank God for their pinpricks of light in the pervasive grey of this strange spring.
What small blessings give you hope right now?

Eve, The Queen of Sheba, Now on Audible
Two of my novels' most famous heroines have been released on audio!
Havah: The Story of EveHavah, 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, experience 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. Lee's superior storytelling will have readers weeping for all that Havah forfeited by a single damning choice." -Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Get Havah audiobook on:

The Legend of Sheba: Rise of a Queen. Her name is legend. Her story, the epic of nations. The Queen of Sheba.
There is the story you know: A foreign queen, journeying north with a caravan of riches to pay tribute to a king favored by the One God. The tale of a queen conquered by a king and god both before returning to her own land laden with gifts. That is the tale you were meant to believe. Which means most of it is a lie.
“Tosca Lee’s The Legend of Sheba is a tale of lush prose, rich setting, and meticulously researched historic detail. The Queen of Sheba may be a figure obscured by the millennia, but Tosca Lee brings her to life—and she is strong, capable, and irresistibly seductive.” – Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Traitor’s Wife.
