Our Wives Under the Sea

A haunting, lyrical debut novel that blends gothic horror with queer romance and deep-sea mystery. When marine biologist Leah returns from a disastrous deep-sea mission, her wife Miri quickly realizes something is deeply wrong. Leah has changed—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—and Miri is left to confront the grief of losing someone who is still, technically, there.

Told through alternating perspectives—Miri's in the present and Leah’s journal from the ocean depths—the novel slowly unravels the terrifying events of the mission and the profound transformation Leah underwent. At its heart, this is a story about love, loss, and the unknowable forces that lie both beneath the sea and within ourselves.
