P.W. Catanese: Hello. My name is P. W. Catanese. You can pronounce that like the opposite of dog nephew. Cat niece. Or if we are both in Italy you can use the old world catanese. I use the initials P. W. instead of my first name Paul, because even though Catanese is an uncommon name, there is another Paul Catanese out there writing books.

Interestingly, the letters in P. W. Catanese can be rearranged to spell the words 'want escape' and for someone who writes fantasy adventures that help readers escape into another world, I like that anagram is a fairly magical coincidence.
