About this ebook

Flying and a bonus story too!

 

Flying is now available in a single ebook version with a special bonus story! Due to popular demand, the master storyteller, Paul John Hausleben releases one of his most popular and famous short stories from his extensive short story collections in an exclusive ebook, single version.

Flying is the highly acclaimed short story from the author's popular anthology, The Summer Collection. This exclusive version of Flying contains not only glorious cover artwork, it also contains special notes from the author explaining some of the background and creation of this remarkable story.

Flying tells the emotional and poignant story of a World War Two hero and his memorable impact on the life of a young man, and in fact, an entire old city neighborhood, while he tells his war stories, shares in his raw emotions and his remarkable combat experiences. It is a story about the commitment and the sacrifice that ordinary people are willing to make as they rise up from the ranks to become true heroes. This heart-warming story will leave you teary-eyed and breathless from what many readers and critics consider, to be some of the finest writing of Mr. Hausleben's career.

A SPECIAL BONUS WITH THIS EBOOK VERSION—included in this ebook is the magnificent and poignant military-themed story, The Basket on the Wall.

No author captures the emotions, honor, pride, and the pain of serving in the military better than Paul John Hausleben does and these two stories capture his immense talent at storytelling as well as the emotions.

Flying. A Story About True Heroes
Author

Paul John Hausleben

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.
