The novels of
P.W. Catanese

 “Imagination to spare, with new wonders around every corner." -School Library Journal

Welcome friends.

You might know me from my fantasy trilogy The Books of Umber, the supernatural Donny’s Inferno books, or the fairy-tale inspired "Further Tales" novels that include The Thief and the Beanstalk and The Mirror’s Tale.  In every story you'll find page-turning adventure, memorable characters and extraordinary places and creatures.  

Officially my novels are for middle-grade readers, but adults enjoy them as well. These are all published by Simon and Schuster/Aladdin. Most are in e-book form too. And if you like to listen, check out the wonderfully narrated Books of Umber audio books.  
When I’m not writing or enjoying the great outdoors, I also enjoy author events and school visits. So invite away, and hopefully my schedule will allow.  

If you'd like to buy a book...

Check your local bookstore first, indie if possible.  If you need to buy online, here's a link to me on Amazon - but you can purchase wherever online books are sold.
