Coming Soon

Every mother knows the invisible mental load. It’s the endless cycle of picking up generic building blocks, living on a diet of leftover macaroni crusts, and filling three mandated “healthy snack” sections in a lunchbox five days a week. It’s the exhaustion of a husband who can snipe pixelated targets from 500 meters away in a video game but can’t locate the kitchen scissors sitting in the top drawer.

For one suburban mom, the pressure cooker is about to blow.

Between managing the daily domestic chaos and binge-watching forensic crime dramas to keep her sanity, she’s picked up a few useful skills. She knows exactly how the lumbar spine functions. She knows how to move in clean-cut, ninja-style silence. And she’s beginning to realize that the analytical, meticulous brain required to run a household is the exact same brain needed to pull off the perfect crime.

When a neighborhood problem named Lydia pushes her over the edge, she discovers a whole new meaning to the phrase “running errands.”

From Fireborn Press comes a fiercely relatable, laugh-out-loud dark comedy about the bone-deep exhaustion of modern motherhood—and the lethal lengths one woman will go to finally get some peace and quiet. Because if you want a problem solved permanently…

Mom will take care of it.
