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.

Serie
Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts
|
Flash Fiction and more! A follow-up to Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash One! Another unique and unusual book! This series of books is unlike any other books that Paul John Hausleben has published before and maybe unlike any other books that a reader might have read!
Within the pages of Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash Two the author conjures up more interesting, emotional, eccentric and unusual pieces of flash fiction (Flashes) covering many diverse subjects covering, romance, humor, fantasy, life, death, crime, new-age thoughts, religion, and who-knows-what, with some Flashes inspired by his taste in music, and others, simply from his own life experiences. Mr. Hausleben mixes the Flashes with Sparks, which are quotes of wisdom and random observations of life, and then as he did in Flash One, he adds two more previously unreleased short stories (Shorts) from a collection titled, "Where We Used to Live" as the anchor stories.
Will there be a Flash Three? The author leaves it to conjecture, but in the meantime, please don't miss Flash Two!
This is another intriguing collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings and it will capture the hearts and minds of faithful followers of Mr. Hausleben's previous work, and new readers that first experience the magical storytelling abilities of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.
