Greetings from 182 Belmont Avenue The Essential Collection

Beschreibung

The best of the PJH short stories, poems, blogs, and other essential reading! Finally! When a longtime associate and friend of Mr. Paul John Hausleben approached the master storyteller and suggested that it was time to put together a collection of all his essential short works and other material into one book, the author balked at the suggestion. "There is not enough material," was his initial reaction. However, when they sat down and went over the voluminous amount of work that PJH has written over his career, it was obvious that there was more than enough material. After sifting through the mountains of writings, Mr. Hausleben picked out his best from the best and it is to the sheer delight of his readers that this collection is finally a reality. Here is the definitive collection of work by Paul John Hausleben that his readers and fans have waited for! This collection contains all of PJH's essential short works, the best of his blogs, his poems, and even a few previously unreleased short stories, blogs, and poems, unlocked from the confines of his seemingly never-ending story vault. Included here, for the first time, is the critically acclaimed and magically romantic short story Breeze as well as the surprise follow-up to that instant classic. This collection contains all the best of PJH packed inside of two covers, all selected by the master storyteller himself. As an added treat, this captivating collection contains an introduction written by PJH to each story, explaining the origins of the work as well as some of PJH's thoughts that went into each story. It is pure reading magic!

Autor

Way back in time, when the dinosaurs first died off, at the ripe old age of sixteen, Paul John Hausleben, wrote three stories for a creative writing class in high school. Enrolled in a vocational school, and immersed in trade courses and apprenticeship, left little time for writing ventures but PJH wrote three exceptional and entertaining stories. Paul John Hausleben's stories caught the eye of two English teachers in the college-preparatory academic programs and they pulled the author out of his basic courses and plopped him in advanced English and writing courses. One of the English teachers had immense faith in Paul’s talents, and she took PJH’s stories, helped him brush them up and submitted them to a periodical for publication. To PJH’s astonishment, the periodical published all three of the stories and sent him a royalty check for fifty dollars and . . . that was it. PJH did not write anymore because life got in his way. Fast forward to 2009 and while living on the road in Atlanta, Georgia (and struggling to communicate with the locals who did not speak New Jersey) for his full-time job, PJH took a part-time job writing music reviews for a progressive rock website, and that gig caused the writing bug to bite PJH once more. He recalled those old stories and found the old manuscripts hiding in a dusty box. After some doodling around with them, PJH decided to revisit them. Two stories became the nucleus for the anthology now known as, The Time Bomb in The Cupboard and Other Adventures of Harry and Paul. The other story became the anchor story for the collection known as, The Christmas Tree and Other Christmas Stories, Tales for a Christmas Evening. Now, many years and over thirty-five published works later, along with countless blogs and other work, PJH continues to write. Where and when it stops, only the author really knows. On the other hand, does he really know? If you ask Paul John Hausleben, he will tell you that he is not an author, he is just a storyteller. Other than writing, among many careers both paid and unpaid, he is a former semi-professional hockey goaltender, a music fan and music reviewer, an avid sports fan, photographer and amateur radio operator.
