Greetings from the Enchanted Everglades!

I'm Salena, a mom and writer trying to stay sane in my first year of parenting by escaping into fiction. Join me for "Gin and Chronic," a weekly tale featuring Jerard—a wizard who's more sarcastic than magical—and Eloise, his enigmatic sidekick. They're tangled in a murder mystery that's anything but predictable.

For accessibility and convenience, you'll get each story segment with optional audio. Check out the podcast tab, or click on the posts to tune in.
