Works
(Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village
Meet the residents of Birchmont Village, a close-knit community of quirky characters and eccentrics. Based upon his lighthearted short stories that first appeared in The Saturday Evening Post, Peter J. Stavros, with this collection of vignettes, chronicles a year in the lives of these townsfolk as they are faced with one perceived catastrophe and calamity after the other. (Mostly) True Tales From Birchmont Village shows us that despite our differences, and disagreements, and petty annoyances, we can still find common ground to contribute to the greater good – and that we never outgrow the simple delight of s'mores prepared over the warmth of a glowing fire pit.
