Hi, I am Mira.
I write novels, blogs, theatrical plays, and short stories, mainly in English, sometimes in Serbian. My fiction has been described as starting gently, then erupting with emotions that draw readers in and carry them through to the end of the story.
In all my writing, I focus on the following themes:
- Love as healing
- Family/community as preserving and resuscitating
- Remembering my roots
- Seattle and Washington State in my reverence for them
- My native home of Serbia
- Irish as a beloved people of my heart
Threads and Tethers is now available on Amazon.
The Ford family—Marica, Will, and their two young daughters—live in a beautiful present in Seattle, Washington. This is on account of a well-established rule—the past does not exist in their household. Not a word about Marica’s childhood in Kosovo, Yugoslavia, nor about what Will lived through in the Troubles of Northern Ireland. Of course, there is a slip-up or a nightmare here and there, but they are never acknowledged. Their crosses are their own to bear separately, because, of course, there is no other way for the likes of Marica and Will to make sure that their children grow up in a normal, happy, loving American family.
But when a suitcase with a bloody shirt inside arrives, followed by a letter from Belfast, the past spews out.
Can Marcia and Will overcome their feelings of betrayal? Can they save their marriage and their family? Can they ensure that their daughters have what the two of them did not—stable childhoods?
Threads and Tethers is a love story.

Every war brims with stories of love—love as a universal marrow that gives people the strength to pull through and bounce back despite unimaginable woes.
Our Ancestors: Serbian Drama is one such story. It is a theatrical play written in the Serbian language as a story about peasants whom the Allies proclaimed dead in the winter of 1915, but who then rose from the ashes and helped bring the Great War to an end. It is also a story about generations later, from the 1930s all the way to today, on whom the Great War left an indelible mark. Our Ancestors: Serbian Drama is a testament of love and survival.
Original title—Наши преци: српска драма о ратовима, нестанку и опстанку
