Stars Hollow Paranormal Mysteries: Book 1
Hello, my name is Robyn Salem, and believe it or not I am in an interesting situation. To begin, I have autism (shh, don't tell anyone. It is a secret between us.). Anyway, autism is hard, particularly with a mentally abusive family that really knows how to get into your head and make you feel sorry you exist. There is also the physical abuse, but that is all in the past now I hope because I packed up and left. It was a hard decision as I don't make enough money to survive on my own. I also have a dog and cat with me, and there is the fact it is a super-hot summer day. And no, I can't go to a friend's because I don't have any. Things can't possibly get worse...
I may have spoken too soon.
Next thing I know, I walk into Stars Hollow, Idaho, where life is more than it appears. It turns out not a soul has entered or exited the town for one hundred and twenty-five years, and the reason has to do with a witch ancestor I never heard anything about.
That is correct. You heard right. I am a witch. Don't worry, I didn't know, either.
The witch thing, though, just adds to my problems as my arrival breaks some sort of utopian lockdown spell. A spell that had been put up to protect not just the humans but the magical world as well. Everything spirals out of control from there and a human is murdered in the most peculiar manner, leading to the first friend I ever make to be arrested.
This is not the end of the tale, unfortunately.
Who would have thought I would get caught on camera using magic out in the open? I definitely didn't predict that.
So follow me and my new friends as we use paranormal investigation to solve our first murder and begin the case of a possible Dark Witch who just happens to be related to a very important member of society.

Note to Readers
Robyn Salem is on the autism spectrum. In fact, she is based on me. My own life and backstory have been used to create hers.
