Creator of the Tales of New Serbia

Stories set in a small fictional township in upstate New York — where ordinary lives quietly intersect, and where the past is never quite finished with the present.

The Setting

Welcome to New Serbia, N.Y.

New Serbia is a fictional small township in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in upper New York State. Population: 2,742. Average age: 39.3. More cows than people — though the farms are dying off and the people are catching up.

It is the same town where most people's parents and grandparents were born, and where visitors are usually people who get lost driving up to their vacations in the Adirondacks.
