Stefon Mears

Stefon Mears is an American author of fantasy, science fiction, and horror short fiction and novels. His Spells for Hire series follows a freelance magic-user taking on jobs in a contemporary fantasy setting, while Rise of Magic and Jumpstart Duchy extend his interest in characters gaining or wielding power within layered magic systems. Mears's Edge of Humanity series moves into darker, more horror-inflected territory, and his Here Be anthology series gathers myth-, monster-, and folklore-themed stories from a shared premise. He has also released a Patreon Collection compiling reader-supported serialized fiction. Across six linked series and dozens of titles spanning action, fantasy, and horror, his catalog reflects a versatile, high-output approach common among independently published genre short-fiction and novel writers.
