Why I’m Championing This Epic New Sci-Fi Fantasy Anthology

Happy release day, story lovers and indie fantasy fans!

When I founded Mind on Fire Books, I built it on a simple, burning mission: to publish my own stories. More importantly, I wanted to fuel the flames for my fellow indie writers. The independent publishing world isn’t a solitary grind—it’s a thriving community. It is powered by authors lifting each other up.

That’s why today, I’m putting my full support behind a brand-new release launching this FridaySpace Wizards, Volume 1. It is edited and curated by the brilliant Vanessa Finaughty.

The Backstory: Why I’m All-In for This Launch

Full transparency: I’m not actually featured in this collection.

Vanessa and I had chatted about my possibly submitting a piece during the open call. But life happened, and my I didn’t draft anything that I felt would make the cut. Later, Vanessa reached out asking for a little promotional backup. Because of that, there was zero hesitation on my end.

Vanessa and I connected through the Authors and Allies series. I’ve seen firsthand the relentless heart, editorial sharpness, and creative energy she pours into every book project. When a writer friend in your circle puts out a call to rally behind a launch, you step up. That’s what Mind on Fire Books is all about.

Plus, once I caught a glimpse of what this anthology actually contains, I knew I’d be talking about it regardless!

What Is Space Wizards, Volume 1 About?

If your sweet spot is the boundary where high-octane science fiction meets raw magical fantasy, this book was engineered for your bookshelf.

Imagine a universe where ancient arcane spells are wired directly into starship engines. In this world, cyborgs manage high-end space cruises. Moreover, magical familiars range from proud griffons to delightfully sarcastic robot cats.

Here’s a quick teaser of what’s waiting for you inside this multi-author collection:

Wartime Arcane Battles: High-stakes wizards wielding magic across galactic combat zones.

Time-Bending Mayhem: A time-traveling biker wizard who gets hilariously stranded in the future.

Sci-Fi Magic Gone Wrong: Space pirates, chaotic 3D-printer spell glitches, and thermodynamic-defying quantum conjurings.

Wild Intergalactic Encounters: A shifting circus act, a living bioship giving birth under fire, and a planetary-threat wyrmling in full moult.
