A little astonished we've had to do this, but lo: thanks to the unbelievably quick work of the wonderful @ruthannaevans.bsky.social... TRADWIFE has a new cover, for the Bad Place only
(If there's an issue with *plastic* hearts... I'm all out of ideas)
OG cover still VERY available everywhere else

Are you Team Nat or Team Shauna on this hypothetical heist anthology?

I love heist stories: writing them, reading them, watching them... all the things. And now I have a powerful urge to put together/edit a heist anthology for 2027
Shauna, however, is on the fence about this hypothetical project
So: what do you reckon, book friends? Does it have legs?

![TRADWIFE
Family. Community. Tradition.
Annihilation.
Everyone remembers the Heart of Solomon murders: three young married couples
[REDACTED] around the dinner table, their bodies desecrated, in the UK's first and only purpose-built Tradwife community.
And no suspect ever charged.
Writer Gina Lewis wants to know. Her plan: talk to the people who knew the three dead couples best, and try to understand what brought them to the Heart of Solomon.
Puzzle out why they REDACTED] - and how the "traditional marriage" Arcadia they were promised turned so dangerous, so quickly.
And she'll keep going until she finds the truth. No matter what it costs her.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fqiezj5xezgyanoc6rhpwir/bafkreifsw57mnqi5wu73gtxbvculefgwu5jlrndkxn7dirvzxo67xilevi@jpeg)
