About the Book

Flash Fiction and more! A unique and unusual book! Unlike any other book that Paul John Hausleben has published before and maybe, unlike any other books that a reader might have read!

Paul John Hausleben ventures into the writing world of flash fiction (Flashes) and along the way, he throws in some twists and turns with some wisdom and general thoughts on life (Sparks) and some short stories (Shorts) plucked from his seemingly endless vault of stories.

Fantasy, nostalgia, romance, crime-drama, short stories, Christmas, religion, sports, and more; there are few genres that Mr. Hausleben does not, or has not, dabbled in, but in this release, he dives into the maze of words with an entirely new experiment in writing, with his tinkling of the keyboard in flash fiction. The results are astounding. There are few modern authors as diverse in their writing abilities as Mr. Hausleben is, and he proves it in this eclectic and very unusual collection of work.

Within the pages of Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts, the author conjures up twenty-four pieces of flash fiction (Flashes) covering many diverse subjects such as, 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.

The author explains his use of music for inspiration for some of the Flash Fiction pieces in the Author Notes from the book, "Music is a huge part of my life and I always write with music in the background. In searching for inspiration for the flash fiction, as I often do and have done in the past, I used music as a source of themes for some flashes. My intention was to use the melodies, meanings and the lyrics as a basic theme for the stories and to get my creative juices flowing. My intention with the lyrics was not to plagiarize them, but to use them for the broad foundations of some stories. Other stories just jumped into my mind, or are the product of actual experiences that I have had in my life. I feel it worked out rather well, and I enjoyed writing and creating the entire project."

Mr. Hausleben mixes the Flashes with Sparks, which are quotes of wisdom and random observations of life, and then he adds two wonderful previously unreleased short stories (Shorts) from a collection titled, "Where We Used to Live" as anchor stories.

This collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings is sure to 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.
