Discover Nick Zwirblia

AUTHOR NICK ZWIRBLIA was raised in Worcester, Massachusetts, where he still resides. He is most reliably found at local thrift stores and garage sales—buying $2 pieces of “costume jewelry,” which, properly assessed, end up being $300 hunks of gold that other people didn’t have the vision to “see.” 

For more than a decade, Nick lived in rural Vermont, where, among other jobs and pursuits, he worked in food services at Dartmouth College—where he was known as The Happy Hop Guy—ran a successful home-cleaning business, and was the owner of “The Enchanted Toy Box,” where he specialized in antique toys and collectibles. 

Nick’s uncanny “eye for the old” imbues The Bramford Chronicles with a level of got-it-right detail that brings readers back to a time that—perhaps now forgotten by most—tells us important things about “who we are” and “where we came from.”
