Trina Spillman, who also writes under the pen name Selene Greenleaf, crafts both practical witchcraft guides and immersive works of fiction that span romance, magical realism, and contemporary thrillers. Splitting her creative life between Colorado’s mountain landscapes and a growing library of story ideas, she blends current events, folklore, plant magic, and real-world rituals to invite readers into transformative experiences. Under Selene Greenleaf, she’s the author of Witchcraft Essentials: A Modern-Day Guide to Spells, Herbs, and Crystals, Cupid's Craft: Love Spells for Valentine's Day, and her forthcoming Plant Magic Encyclopedia: Rituals & Remedies, resources designed to help modern practitioners weave intention and botanical wisdom into everyday life. Writing as Trina Spillman, she’s best known for her engaging novellas, which she is currently expanding into full-length novels. Upcoming projects include: 

• Fablecastle After Dark—a satirical, scandal-tinged reimagining of her beloved fairy-tale novellas 

• The Witches of Fablecastle—a sweeping magical-realism saga in the tradition of Like Water for Chocolate, where family secrets and herbal lore intertwine 

• A New Dawn—a gripping political thriller of power, ethics, and love, to be released by The Wild Rose Press 

Whether she’s exploring the ethics of power in a thriller or sharing herbal recipes for daily rituals, Trina/Selene’s work reflects her unwavering belief in the healing and transformative power of words.
