About this ebook

Experiences in life!

The pain and the love and the joy of life! Experiences! We all have them and we all live it; some people simply talk about them, and relate stories of them, and as the author states in his first non-fiction book, some choose to document and share them. In Experiences. A Series of Essays on My Life, Mr. Paul John Hausleben documents and shares his experiences and it thrills readers that he did so!


Author, publisher, semi-pro hockey goaltender, vice president of a company, award-winning photographer, raconteur, traveler, adventurer, electrician and electronics tech, radio operator, and so much more. From humble roots in Paterson and Haledon, New Jersey, born of a gentle mother with English immigrant roots and a street-smart and tough father squarely from the streets of Paterson, NJ, Paul John Hausleben set out to conquer the world. This is the amazing story of his experiences and adventures; told in his own words, in his special way.


Here, within the pages of this book, The Master Storyteller documents in chapters consisting of a series of essays, the experiences of his remarkable life.
The author states in his opening notes for the book, "This book is not an autobiography of Paul John Hausleben. It is simply a collection of a series of essays on my own experiences. Just as the title states."


And within the over four-hundred pages, Mr. Hausleben writes of the experiences of his amazingly diverse working career in many locations throughout the United States. He tells of his writing experiences and the loneliness, hard work, and the joys of writing and what motivates him to write. There are powerful essays of experiences as the author tells of battling injuries from playing the position of hockey goaltender, and of encountering life-threatening surgery, recovering, and struggling through emotional challenges afterwards. The author relates what his hockey career, his parents, teachers, employers, and mentors meant to him and taught him, what his photography career taught him about the world, and in a most unusual chapter of essays, the author relates amazing essays of experiences of his encounters with the weird and unexplained of this world. Ghostly encounters, humorous and odd people and situations, premonitions, strange events, and places and more!


Then, to cap the book off, in a display of unusual behavior for the author, Mr. Hausleben, lets his normally reserved opinions loose in a no-holds-barred chapter, "My Views from The PJH Writing Command Center." In this series of essays, the author cuts loose with his opinions, thoughts, and observations on the current situation in the world, social media dangers and influences, the modern workplace and workers, COVID-19 and other current topics. The author is, as he says, "A tell it as it is, factual guy from Paterson, New Jersey" and in that chapter, he reveals his powerful thoughts and observations on a wide variety of current subjects.
Throughout the book, the words as they typically are with the author remain honest, logical, powerfully emotional, straightforward, and sometimes joyful, and in other cases, tearful.


This is not a self-help book, nor is it an autobiography, it is simply a book of experiences of a life well-lived. To think, it is not over yet! Are there more experiences to follow? Time will tell!


"Paulie, you need to write a book about your experiences. Either no one will believe them or they will believe me when I tell them that Paul John Hausleben has lived a thousand lives."


He did so and here it is!

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.
