Marcus Louis is following in the footsteps of many wrestlers before him ... he's planning to publish a book following his WWE release, but it's far from a tell-all -- the ex-NXT star wrote a sci-fi novel.

Louis -- real name Pierre Marceau -- tells Pro Wrestling Sheet one of the main goals he plans to accomplish following his recent release is publishing a book he wrote which the wrestler describes as a "suburban sci-fi." Marcus explains, "Think Buffy the Vampire slayer on steroids. Strong characters, funny and over the top in many ways."

In case you missed it, Marcus Louis was released alongside 4 other wrestlers last week -- including Bull Dempsey and his former tag team partner Sylvester Lefort.

Louis says he's also close to finishing another book that takes place in the same universe as the one he already completed -- and is planning to pitch them both to publishers by the end of the year.

We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
