Fivos Panayiotou grew up on the outskirts of Melbourne in the
80s in a traditional Greek family. As a first generation born of
AustralianGreek
heritage hailing from Cyprus, he was raised in
the multicultural area of Brunswick and ate meat pies and was a
devout fan of Carlton football club like any normal kid in
Melbourne's eastern suburbs. He has a particular interest in
working with the elderly in aged care and is a dedicated uncle,
family man and man of God. He is a survivor of domestic
violence and strong advocate against psychological abuse and
wishes to speak out on this largely unrecognized aspect of men's
mental health. Fivos is currently at work on his second novel, due
for publication in 2021.
