It could be the key to saving both her sister and the farm before all its secrets become tabloid fodder. ​Down on the Charm is the first in the Farm to Fable Paranormal Mysteries, a cozy mystery series that is packed with spell casters, mythical creatures, and all the things that make Vermont the quirky little state it is.
