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
The Cases of Detective Lyle Odell
|
Murder Mystery! Detective series! Crime-drama!
Homicide Detective Lyle Odell returns once again in a new adventure!
In fictional and very gritty, Mohawk City in upstate New York, the respected and prominent, intellectual, and popular educator, Doctor Rochester Gilding, is the victim of a horrific homicide. In his own home, on a seemingly calm and placid autumn Saturday afternoon, a brutal killer slashes his throat, and then, in a fit of rage, plunges a military knife into the skull of Doctor Gilding.
To offer up the ultimate challenge to Detective Lyle Odell, the victim lived a hidden life. On the surface, Doctor Rochester Gilding was wealthy, popular, intellectual, professional, handsome, and charismatic, but when Lyle Odell begins to poke around in the victim's life, he finds that Doctor Gilding lived a hidden life full of darkness and questionable behavior. Since Doctor Gilding lived in a tight-knit and crowded community of townhouses, and he apparently offended everyone equally, the potential suspects are limitless.
Homicide Detective Lyle Odell assembles his elite crime-fighting team to track down the ruthless killer. With the aid of Sergeant George Grundy, Captain Connor Moore, Crime Scene Investigation genius, Sergeant Oliver Crump, and with newly recruited Officer Miles Bradford and with the strategic addition of a few brave civilians, Odell goes on the hunt to bring the killer to justice before he can kill once again. When the initial trail leads to a series of dead-end of clues, Detective Odell moves to the offensive in order to lure the killer out of his lair. That move takes a tragic twist, as Odell's best friend and crime-fighting companion, the faithful Patrol Sergeant George Grundy, displays his heroism in the heat of battle and it has tragic results. Amid tragedy, a driven and focused, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell will stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice.
This Detective Lyle Odell adventure has everything a crime-drama reader could want in a detective novel; a thrilling and complicated storyline, beautiful women, multiple suspects and plotlines and Detective Odell and the team, amongst the murder and mayhem, while poking around for mysterious clues. Tragedy! Suspense! Thrills!
