Crime, drama, and ice hockey action! One of Paul John Hausleben's most iconic characters from the Adventures of Harry and Paul jumps out of the pages of those books and stars in his own novel in this masterpiece of storytelling. Ice hockey superstar, Mr. James T. O'Malley, is everyone's favorite hockey goon and the on-the-ice nemesis of The Adventures of Harry and Paul's beloved character of number twenty-seven, hockey goaltender, Paul John Henson. First introduced in the novel The Night Always Comes, O'Malley quickly became one of the most popular characters that the author ever created. Readers everywhere wondered. What was his story? Why was it that O'Malley so mean and filled with anger issues? Why did it seem as if he turned into a wild hockey goon on the ice, but he was a perfect gentleman off the ice? What is his background? This is another classic tale from the master storyteller; a novel expertly mixed with ice hockey, action, and crime and intrigue, but it also has touches of religion and emotions. O'Malley is not just a book about a wildly angry and skilled ice hockey player, but it is the amazing story of one man's journey through life. It is a testimony and a story about how nothing in life is easy, and about how perseverance eventually has glorious rewards. This novel is an instant classic and a story that will stay with you forever in both your heart and your mind.

Autorenporträt
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.
