()
About this ebook
Romantic and captivating! Intriguing and puzzling! Fun and entertaining! These words all describe this collection of fantasy stories. Nightcap and Other Stories, The Fantasy Collection, is a collection of three novellas from the master storyteller, Paul John Hausleben.
Nightcap. The title story is a mind-bender and a story of the unexplained. This novella tells the story of the strange events that occur when a lonely and road-weary, but successful traveling salesman, wanders into a hotel bar late one night for a simple nightcap to shake free of the boredom of traveling on the road and to help him sleep. From there, the story takes a surprise turn and in the end, the theme of the story is really about finding true love beyond time and comprehension, while bending your mind and leaving you guessing as to how it all began, and more importantly, where it all ends.
The Kingdom of Aedan. The second novella is a fantasy story for children of all ages. It is a story, full of knights and heroes of courage and honor, guided by a wise wizard and outwitting a crestfallen king, in order to save good and eliminate evil, all narrated by one of the author's most beloved characters. This story is great reading fun and adventure for everyone from the ages of five to one hundred and five!
The Lamp upon the Table. The final story concludes this remarkable collection with a ghost story embedded within hackneyed old legends and folklore, heavily laced with romance and concluded with a surprise ending that is sure to make you scratch your head and wonder.
Of course, Paul John Hausleben adds his own special touches to the stories and the author caps it all off with an afterword detailing his own strange experiences while composing the book. The entire collection is a magical ride through the world of fantasy and the unknown, and is sure to please readers of the author's fantasy work, as well as fans of his other genres.
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.
