The Loves Of A Liverpool Lad
Have you ever felt like your life was a rollercoaster? Well, buckle up, because “The Loves of a Liverpool Lad” takes that feeling to a whole new level. This semi-autobiographical novel isn’t just a story; it’s an immersive experience that sweeps you through three decades of one man’s extraordinary life.
Imagine being a young boy in 1960s Liverpool, falling head over heels for your student teacher. That’s Liam Parry’s story. His innocent infatuation with Angela Hughes sets the stage for a life filled with unexpected twists and turns. Years later, fate brings them back together, sparking a romance that feels like a dream come true.
But Liam’s journey is far from a simple love story. He dives into the challenging world of psychiatric nursing, where he witnesses the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. Then, he’s catapulted into the glamorous, yet chaotic, world of the music industry through his marriage to country star Lacey Jay Black. This relationship, however, takes a dark turn, leading Liam through a harrowing experience of addiction, violence, and heartbreak.
“The Loves of a Liverpool Lad” is more than just a personal narrative. It’s a window into the shifting social and cultural landscapes of the 1960s to 1990s. As Liam navigates his relationships, career changes, and personal struggles, the novel paints a vivid picture of a world in constant flux.
This book doesn’t shy away from the darker sides of life. Liam faces devastating lows, including a near-fatal attack and the despair of a failed marriage. But amidst the chaos, there’s a powerful message of resilience. With the unwavering support of his best friend, James Cooke, and his family, Liam finds the strength to rebuild his life.
Liam’s journey takes him from the intensity of a psychiatric ward to the management of a care home, where he reconnects with Angela. He even earns his pilot’s license, opening up new opportunities for adventure and partnership.
The story seamlessly weaves together themes of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, all set against the backdrop of significant national and international events. It’s a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the ability to find hope even in the darkest of times.

I was born in Liverpool soon after the war and brought up in the ways and traditions of a Port City. In my mid-twenties I was deported to Horwich, Bolton, for the crime of marrying a ‘wooleyback’.
I now have five grown up children and 11 grandchildren at the time of writing. I have a wide variety of life experiences in leisure, work and public service, which have all contributed to the similarly wide variety of writing short stories, poems, and one and a half novels.
Having enjoyed writing since school days I joined my first writing group about five years ago. Writing Is very much a leisure activity but has evolved into several self-published books.
