Publisher, Editor, and Merchant of the Strange
Welcome to Mind on Fire Books—where horror, science fiction, and fantasy aren’t just genres, but invitations to explore the limits of imagination.
I’m Willy Martinez, founder and publisher behind Mind on Fire Books. My mission is simple: to amplify unique voices in dark fiction and speculative storytelling. From existential horror and cosmic dread to surreal wit and gothic romance, I believe in stories that challenge, provoke, and entertain.
Why Mind on Fire Books?
- Indie Roots, Global Vision:
We specialize in boundary-pushing fiction from indie authors worldwide. Our catalog features everything from body horror and sci-fi noir to poetic explorations of the absurd. - Accessible Literature:
With both free and paid ebooks, we make genre literature available to every reader—no gatekeeping, just good stories. - In-House Support:
All editing and creative development happens here, so our authors can focus on their vision, not technical hurdles.
The Ritual Blog & Community
Mind on Fire Books isn’t just a publisher—it’s a community. Our Ritual Blog dives into books, art, film, pop culture, poetry, and the creative process. We host author interviews, genre deep-dives, and open conversations about what makes fiction meaningful. Whether you’re a reader, writer, or fellow creative, you’ll find a home here.
How I Got Here
Running a small press means wearing every hat—editor, marketer, customer support, and sometimes even tech wrangler. It’s challenging, but the reward is real: watching indie writers find their audience and seeing readers discover new favorites.
