At age 44 I wrote in Italian and published my first book, Tre raccolte poetiche (Midgard Editrice, October 2022, reprints September 2023). Its poems were born in Perugia, Italia, where I lived on and off for almost one year and which I consider my first home.

Since September 2023 I have lived in Sakartvelo (the country of Georgia). I consider Tbilisi my second home because it is here that I came to and have been transformed by Christ. I have a lay ministry, poetry and journaling as Ministry (https://sites.google.com/view/pajaministry), and my testimony, "In God's Love", is in Heart of Flesh Literary Journal (the update is that while I still love the peace of praying at one of the Catholic churches, St. Nino's Episcopal Church–which has greater equality–has become home and family.

Individual poems are in Cosmic Daffodil Journal, Trampoline: A Journal of Poetry, Everscribe (plus an interview), ZVONA i NARI, Agape Review, and Spirit Fire Review.
