I got my first review for METROPOLIS DOWN and I don't know if it can be beat.
Image shows a scifi border graphic in a pale, muted purple surrounding text. Top text is in the same pale, muted purple, and says REVIEW Text below is smaller and in white, and says: “METROPOLIS DOWN is haunting, horrible, fascinating, and deeply romantic. It gave me the faith to reconnect with romance in my life by modeling mutual patience with trauma healing in relationships. All against a backdrop of space gore. A very special book.”

Just a little reintroduction post for my forthcoming m/m scifi horror romance novel, METROPOLIS DOWN!
Overview Genre: Horror Romance Setting: Star Trek Style Sci-fi Length: ~85,000 words Other: m/m second chance romance forced proximity i'd die for you distress signal cosmic horrors autistic/cptsd x ptsd Synopsis The QSR Neo-Tokyo was the first ship in the Quasar Metropolis-class fleet: an immense spaceship housing a glittering, neon-lit city and half a million people. For forty-five years, it has traveled from Jupiter to Pluto and back without incident. For the last six years First Officer Eddie Stone and Head of Security Jett Valla have built a life together aboard the ship. But no longer. When the Neo-Tokyo intercepts a corrupted distress signal, Jett and Eddie are forced back together to plan a rescue mission to the Golden Lion. But within the code lies an eerie song that haunts them both. They see and hear things that do not exist, and are bound together by its strange tune, forcing them to reckon with their lingering feelings for each other. The song swells within the confines of the ghost ship, where only corpses and questions await them. Something within the hold tormented the ship and those horrors follow an unraveling Jett and Eddie back to the Neo-Tokyo. And when they think they are finally safe, the crowded streets of their city run red with blood. They must confront cosmic horrors once more, and there’s no guarantee that they, or the Neo-Tokyo, will survive. Status Metropolis Down is in the editing phase. I printed out the manuscript and marked it up with the changes that need to be made. I am taking a short break before I implement my dev edits. After, I will send to my editor for line edits. I also have to get a new cover for the book (and series), so I am waiting for my slot with the artist. It WILL be published in 2026. Expect some announcements in the coming months.
