Produktbeschreibung

The classic Christmas tale with a New Jersey twist! A New Jersey Christmas Carol, Special Edtion of A New Jersey Chrismtas Tale, is another release by the master storyteller on an already long list of Christmas books and seasonal magic!

During the Christmas season of 2020, Mr. Paul John Hausleben wrote and published his own version of A Christmas Carol by Mr. Charles Dickens. A New Jersey Christmas Tale became an instant holiday classic. Mr. Hausleben completed a dream; to be able to work alongside his writing hero, Mr. Charles Dickens.

Almost from the moment of publication, the question came in from readers and followers.

"Paulie, why did you title the book A New Jersey Christmas Tale? Why not A New Jersey Christmas Carol?"

The reader's questions and feedback haunted Paul John Hausleben. During Christmas of 2023, Mr. Hausleben completed a university course with coursework of an in-depth study of Mr. Charles Dickens and his masterpiece novella. After another reader asked about the title, and armed with his new knowledge from his studies, the author came up with the idea for a special edition of his own Christmas classic. Mr. Hausleben dug up a commentary that he wrote many years ago on A Christmas Carol and brushed that commentary up. The author added some special notes, added some Christmas fun within the pages, with his not-so-world-famous lists, a touch some of his usual humor, and his own cover design and his own simple and captivating hand-drawn artwork. Of course, he added the title of A New Jersey Christmas Carol.

Here it is; a special edition of the master storyteller's Christmas classic!

Mr. Hausleben takes the original theme of the classic Christmas story, adds his own characters, sets the story in his home city of Paterson, New Jersey and turns the old classic into a new classic. All of this makes this special edition book a must-have for your Christmas reading list!

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.
