The Fire Cacti (Cactus di Fuoco in Italian) are a group of playful writers (and artists) with the bizarre idea of revolutionizing the world of young adult and fantasy literature. They all live in Italy, prefer to stay firmly planted in the ground (though they travel in pots when necessary), and don't need much water.   They like fantasy that feels like sci-fi, and sci-fi that feels like fantasy.   They also write a lot, but, at least for now, publish little of what they create.   ❃❃❃❃❃❃❃   Four-time Wattys Award winners! In 2017 with L'Uomo dei Cimiteri (The Cemetery Man), in 2019 with Io sono il Drago (I Am the Dragon), in 2020 with Urban Legends, and in 2022 with Deus Ex Machina.   ❃❃❃❃❃❃❃   Can you read Italian? There's a wiki for Cacti's universe(es)! Or visit their official blog (this one with many pages in English!) for extra content, art, characters and much, much more!   ❃❃❃❃❃❃❃   Do you want art as cool as the illustrations you see in Cacti's worlds? Their official artists (but Fire Cacti are not jealous, you can commission them too!) are Furiarossa and Mimma.
