Book excerpt: The best of PJH's short stories, blogs, poems, and other essential reading all in one collection! Finally! When a longtime associate and friend of Mr. Paul John Hausleben approached the master storyteller and suggested that it was time to put together a collection of all his essential short works and other material into one book, the author balked at the suggestion. "There is not enough material," was his initial reaction. However, when they sat down and went over the voluminous amount of work that PJH has written over his career, it was obvious that there was more than enough material. After sifting through the mountains of writings, Mr. Hausleben picked out his best from the best and it is to the sheer delight of his readers that this collection is finally a reality. Here is the definitive collection of work by Paul John Hausleben that his readers and fans have waited for! This collection contains all of PJH's essential short works, the best of his blogs, his poems, and even a few previously unreleased short stories, blogs, and poems, unlocked from the confines of his seemingly never-ending story vault. Included here, for the first time, is the critically acclaimed and magically romantic short story, "Breeze" as well as the surprise follow-up to that instant classic. This collection contains all the best of PJH packed inside of two covers, all selected by the master storyteller himself. As an added treat, this captivating collection contains an introduction written by PJH to each story, explaining the origins of the work as well as some of PJH's thoughts that went into each story. It is pure reading magic!
