Paul Petillo

For over fifteen years, Paul Petillo was considered a financial writer. He founded the BlueCollarDollar.com (http://bluecollardollar.com) in 1998 and was the site's managing editor and primary content provider. The site focused on financial education center with a common sense approach to money, investing, and retirement. From that experience, he wrote five books, four published with McGraw-Hill, and one, a refreshed version of my first book, published here as "Rebuilding Wealth in a Paycheck-to-Paycheck World".

Petillo's first novel, "Scourge of Princes: Came of Age Too Soon", explores new areas of his creativity. This is the first of three books following the life of Santo Aretino, a boy who has his life compass redirected in this book. The next additions to this trilogy will find him searching for a reason why he is who he is and when he eventually finds the answer, why he tries to destroy it.

Paul has been married to his wife, Bonnilyn for over thirty years, with four grown children and two grandkids. He lives in Portland, Oregon.
