Book signing at Madrid Book Fair 2013.

Paul Pen (born 23 December 1979) is a Spanish author of literary fiction, thriller and suspense. His first novel, El aviso, earned him the title of Fnac New Talent in 2011 [1] and has been translated into German and Italian. This debut was described as "outstanding" by Babelia, the cultural section of Spanish newspaper El País.[2] In 2013, he released his second novel, El brillo de las luciérnagas (Plaza y Janés), published in English by AmazonCrossing in April 2016, translated by Simon Bruni. He has also published some fifteen short stories, some of them appearing in men's magazines such as NOX and Don.

Both novels are being adapted for the big screen, produced by Morena Films. Jorge Guerricaechevarría penned the Spanish script for El aviso,[3] later translated to English and adapted to an American setting by Chris Sparling.[4] and Chris Rossi. The film was released on Netflix in July 2018 as The Warning. Alberto Marini penned the script for El brillo de las luciérnagas.[5]
