I’m thrilled to finally announce some more information about my sophomore novel, a horror called TRAD WIFE about a tradwife influencer who has a demon baby. This unhinged social commentary will be out February 10, 2026! Mark your calendars.
Here’s what I can share so far:
- There’s been a slight name change—TRADITIONAL WIFE is now TRAD WIFE, which is good because I am lazy and I was already shortening it to TRAD WIFE anyway.
- TRAD WIFE is now on Goodreads, so scurry over there and add it to your TBR!
- There’s a Spotify playlist for the book here—check out the vibes and maybe even some hints about what you can expect from this horror novel.
No cover yet, but I’ll have more information soon. Keep your eyes peeled…

When Camille Deming isn’t cooking, cleaning, or homesteading in her picture-perfect country farmhouse, she’s posting about her tradwife lifestyle for her online followers. She takes inspiration from other tradwives on social media, aspiring to be like them, but Camille’s missing a key component: a baby. And contrary to what she posts online, things with her husband Graham have been strained. Pressured by her eager followers, Camille fears that without a baby, her relationship will suffer and her social media will never grow out of its infancy.
When Camille discovers a mysterious, decrepit well in the wheatfield behind her house, she makes a wish for a baby. Afterwards, she has unsettling experiences that she convinces herself are angelic in nature, and when she’s visited one night by a strange creature, her wish comes true.
Camille’s pregnancy announcement gets more engagement than anything she’s ever posted—so what if Graham’s reaction is lukewarm? Camille’s life is finally falling into place. Never mind that her pregnancy is developing freakishly rapidly and she’s suddenly craving raw meat. Being a traditional wife is worth it.
Rosemary’s Baby for the digital age, this disturbing horror novel is one you’ll want to devour in just one bite.
