Krimis & Thriller | Literatur & Belletristik
Panayotis had a magical childhood growing up in a small seaside town in Cyprus. After two years as an army conscript (at a time when the island suffered first a military coup and then an invasion), he travelled to Britain where he studied law at Oxford and qualified to practise at the Bar. Having then decided that he didn't want to be a lawyer, he also graduated art school, and for many happy years he worked as a painter and sculptor, until a spell of artist's block led to a very short course in creative writing... www.panayotiscacoyannis.com His time now exclusively devoted to writing, The Dead of August was his first novel, a contemporary satire set in London, where he lives. His own experiences while working in the city as an artist, together with the colourful relationships of many of his friends, provided Panayotis with a wealth of material to draw on. Surprisingly all his friends are still talking to him, and none of them are planning to sue him. As well as receiving a starred Kirkus review, The Dead of August was named to Kirkus Reviews' "Best Books of 2015". Also set in modern-day London, Bowl of Fruit (1907) tells the story of a man with a fantastical talent, and of his epic, twenty-four hour journey with a beautiful ghost-writer who knows more about his past than he does. IndieReader named Bowl of Fruit (1907) one of its "Best Indie Books of 2015", calling it "a magically original story" and "an incredible read". “Relieved, complicated, and strengthened by its trenchant observations of horrible people, along with black humor...” (Kirkus Reviews), POLK, HARPER & WHO is a contemporary story of complicated friendships and family relationships, and ultimately of the triumph of imperfect London love within imperfect London lives. London 1969. While men are walking on the moon, a series of dramatic events threaten to have lasting repercussions for Jane and the people she loves... In another starred review, and naming it one of their "Indie Best Books of the Month" for June 2018, and then one of their "Best Books of 2018", Kirkus Reviews have acclaimed The Madness of Grief as a "richly complicated, and deeply engaging coming-of-age tale." Lightened by a touch of Panayotis' familiar dark humour, "the story moves rapidly, contains a genuine mystery, and is thoroughly entertaining." Casey Dorman - Lost Coast Review Psychological, Magical, Mad, Panayotis' fifth book is another London story of a journey on a long winding road and beyond. Finger of an Angel will be published on April 5 2019. For the moment at least Panayotis has no plans (not to mention the energy or any trace of talent) to embark on a fourth career. Aside from reading and writing, his favourite pastime is going to the movies, and ever since his friend/therapist/barber recommended The Sopranos, he has also discovered good TV. He travels to Cyprus often, to visit family and be near the sea. If anyone would like to get in touch with him, there is a contact email address for Panayotis on his website.
