Literary fiction that surrounds family and identity.
Sean Mejias is a writer from Rochester with Puerto Rican roots. His work blends the human and the surreal to explore how ordinary lives meet extraordinary worlds. When The City Is Safe Again is his debut novel. When he’s not writing, at church, or with his family, he’s exploring nature or being reminded of his misplaced faith in the New York Jets.

When the City is Safe Again
(Recipient of Readers' Favorite Five Star Review)
Releasing June 16, 2026
When the city is safe again, everything will go back to normal. That’s what Davey Karoll believes.
As a therapist married to the city’s first superhero, he has learned to live with late nights, close calls, and the distance that grows when the person you love belongs to everyone else. One day, he tells himself, they’ll find their way back. That, or he will finally adjust to the new normal. But what would that even look like?
While the heroes continue to fight crime in the city, the spouses left at home must confront what having super-powered wives has done to their marriages and to themselves. Sometimes the hardest part of saving the world isn’t the battle.
It’s coming home.
