On May 13, 2025, I signed with Milford House, an imprint of Sunbury Press Books, to publish my first novel, Three Rivers Home. Set in 1920s-era Pittsburgh and based on a decade of research into my grandfather's life, it's the story of a tenacious, first-generation Italian-American orphan's heartbreaking loss and his pursuit of a promise that will unite two families.
