About this ebook

Romance! Emotions! Love and tragedy and happy endings and not so happy endings!

All the emotions and storytelling that make Mr. Paul John Hausleben cringe!

 

The master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben, proudly and emphatically states that he is not a romance writer! Instead, Mr. Hausleben reluctantly dabbles in romance while admitting that he uses romance to invoke strong emotions and promote storylines. Yet, his reluctance and efforts produce spectacular results. Here are all the best of his romantic short stories, flash fiction, novellas and novelettes all in one stunning collection, selected from the author's extensive books, and selected by the author and the staff at God Bless Publishing LLC. There are also included here, three previously unpublished romantic stories unlocked from the author's famous storytelling vault.

 

Download your eBook version today or pick up the paperback version, pour some wine, or tea, or coffee, curl up, and spend some time buried in romance, some teary-eyed, and some full of warmth and smiles as only the master storyteller can deliver.

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.
