Stelios Grant Pavlou (born 22 November 1970)[1] is a British screenwriter and speculative fiction novelist. His novels Decipher[2] and Gene[3] have been published in 12 languages. He also wrote the screenplay for the film The 51st State.

Personal life

Pavlou was born in Gillingham, and grew up in Borstal, Rochester and Chatham, England. He attended University of Liverpool in American Studies, and also studied at the University of Mississippi as an exchange student.[4] His father, Paul Pavlou, was a native Greek Cypriot from the island of Cyprus, where Stelios often vacationed in his formative years. His book Gene was dedicated to his father post-humously. His mother, Maureen, is English and a native of Rochester.

In 1990, at the age of 19, Pavlou volunteered one year of service to the Cypriot army.[5] He married his wife, Michelle, in 2007. They currently live near Castle Rock, Colorado with their daughter.

Career

Pavlou's first novel, Decipher, was published in 2001. It was set in Atlantis, and explores the implications of nanotechnology.[6] As a continuation of that book he operates Atlantipedia,[7] a website dedicated to the study of the Atlantis myth and its myriad associated theories. In 2005, he wrote the historical thriller, Gene. He later wrote three short stories for Dr. Who. His latest novel, Daniel Coldstar: The Relic war,[8][9] the first of a middle grade science fiction series, was published in 2017. The novel was awarded a Junior Library Guild selection for fall 2017.

Pavlou has also written a few screenplays. His first produced screenplay was for The 51st State (known as Formula 51 in the US), which was released in 2001.[10] The film starred Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle.[11] In the British DVD release, Pavlou did the audio commentary and included a featurette titled, "Who the Hell is Stel Pavlou."[12] He later wrote a draft adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama for Morgan Freeman and David Fincher.

In 2006, Pavlou starred as Kagan in the short film Kochana Cafe,{{Citation needed|date=March 2017}} which premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
