What happens when a truly charismatic creative person, full of the joys of life, someone who loves entertaining people, is struck down by one of the cruellest medical fates?
This remarkable and unforgettable book, ‘A Star in his own Imagination’, answers that question.
Paul Allen, in telling us about his extraordinary life and his love of life, not only fights back against his medical condition but also shows he is the master of it. As he says:
‘This is a lighthearted and sometimes amusing account of my somewhat colourful life. It is full of ups and downs but has never been dull. It will appeal to anyone who has suffered a severe stroke or anyone who just wants to read about my life.’
This book will change how you feel about people, about life, about destiny and about love.
Paul Allen was born in the London borough of Croydon in 1956. He was a talented singer and wedding photographer. At the age of fifty-three he took early retirement from his day job as a project manager with an IT company, thinking he would build his business as a photographer. But the recession came and his business suffered a low time.
Paul was still very happily singing in shows and charity concerts when a devastating stroke hit him on 3 July 2012, resulting, sadly, in Locked-In Syndrome. Today, Paul remains mainly cheerful and positive about his future. He has many visitors and keeps in touch with his friends and family. His body may be paralysed but his brain is still very active and his ability to communicate is brilliant.
