I want to share my story with the world because I believe that even a "stereotyped life" can be fractured to reveal something deeply human, optimistic, and real. My memoirs—from my 70s childhood in Playing Out: Swings and Roundabouts
to my unconventional 90s journey in Paulyanna: International Rent-boy —are written for anyone who has ever felt like "damaged goods".
Here is why I invite you to read my work:
To See Beyond the Stereotype : I wrote my story to dispel the myth that people who fall through the cracks are destined to remain victims. I want to show that even in a world of "streetlife, drugs, and loneliness," a person's "Pollyanna" spirit can refuse to be beaten.
For Gritty, Unfiltered Honesty : My writing is described as ranging from "the poetic to the pithy". I don't use unnecessary drama or political victimisation; I just share my raw accounts of life as it was—from the struggles of a working-class upbringing in the UK to the risks of working the streets in London and Los Angeles.
To Find Hope in Adversity : Despite a "cold and hungry existence" and leaving school with the academic knowledge of an eleven-year-old, I found a way to use pen and paper to reclaim my narrative. My books are a testament to the belief that you can obtain happiness and security regardless of where you start.
A Journey of Relatability : Many of my readers find themselves transported back to their own memories—the nit combs, the struggle for Christmas, and the "amusing things" found in even the toughest upbringings.
I hope that by reading my memoirs, you might learn to smile at the irony of life and realise that no matter how "unconventional" your path, it is a story worth telling.
These reviews and interviews offer insights into the raw, honest accounts and hopeful journey presented in Paul Douglas Lovell's memoirs:
Loneliness. When you brave the shame of admitting you're lonely and get zero response. A reality for many on social media.
It's a bit like writing three memoirs themed around exclusion and abandonment that get no attention.
What do you do? stay silent OR write another memoir?

People should read Paul Douglas Lovell's books for his refreshingly honest, raw, and optimistic storytelling about an unconventional life, which offers a unique perspective on working-class experiences, sexuality, poverty, and resilience.
Raw and Unfiltered Accounts: Lovell provides "no holds barred"
accounts of his life, which reviewers praise for their honesty and realism. He tells it "how it is" without added glamour, grit, preachiness, or self-pity, even when discussing difficult subjects like early abandonment, poverty, sexual abuse, and the dangers of sex work.
Social History: His memoirs, such as Paulyanna: International Rent-boy and Empty Corridors: Learning to Fail, are considered valuable as "social history," documenting life on the margins of society in the UK during the 1970s and 1980s and the London streets in the 1990s.
Authentic Voice: Readers appreciate his distinct, engaging, and readable style, which is seen as less intimidating than some literary works addressing similar themes, and his ability to describe people and situations vividly.
Triumph Over Adversity: A central reason to read his books is the inspirational story of how he overcame a difficult, cold, and hungry existence with little education and became a writer. Reviewers highlight his "indestructible optimism" and determination.
Unconventional Hero: Lovell presents himself as an "alternative working class hero" and a "slut with guts," who makes no apologies for his profession or sexuality. His journey from a "problem child" to a published author and a classroom assistant offers a compelling narrative of personal growth and ambition.
Unique Perspective: His books offer a "peek into what really goes on behind the glassy-eyed smile of a male street worker" and provide an alternative "tourist guide" to worldwide locations, enriching the reader's understanding of different worlds and experiences.
Entertaining and Absorbing: Despite the heavy subject matter (drugs, sex, AIDS, etc.), the stories are recounted with a "refreshingly perky style," full of anecdotes and an "exuberant, almost childlike, zest for life" that keeps readers engaged and smiling.

Peace & Love to all. Yeah I get it. This year seems to have started off badly. Doom and Gloom all around. Still it's nothing a good smoke can't sort out. Bring back the 60s, the 90s, it's about time people chilled out once again. Yes, I advocate the use of a crutch to help traverse this arduous trek we call modern life. PS: I'm not a role model, so don't expect me to say the right thing. Read my wayward memoirs and you'll understand where I'm coming from. Web-search Paul Douglas Lovell for more information. My books help people get back into reading. So I've been told. Check them out... You won't be disappointed!
A question for the oldies...
Which do you prefer?
I used to own both and was wondering which to get first.
YIPPPEEEE!!!!
I sold my 300th copy of Paulyanna International Rent-boy on Christmas Day.
It's taken a lot of time to reach this total but at least I did it without funds. Not going to lie, I had to open people's wallets and purses (retro), plead and beg. But has the title may indicate I ain't to proud to beg!!!
My books are something different. Refreshingly truthful and embarrassing.

With no sales this month, I struggle on. Writing to no audience can be disheartening, especially if you're shallow like myself and are seeking validation not only for your writing but also for your existence. Past that is.
Writing about neglect and rejection, isn't easy, more so when you get the impression no body is listening/reading. Still, I'm deep into writing my forth memoir.
Makes me smile to think I have so much to say about myself, considering I haven't achieved a single thing or done anything worthy of praise. So if you like tales about everyday life, underclass stories about topics best avoided, seek out these titles.
Web-search Paul Douglas Lovell. Oh, yeah and I suppose I should say, Merry Christmas too.
