This book is an experience woven into poetic rhythms and scripts that bring together characters in a diverse community--the saints and sinners, the ancestors and neighbors, the celebration of family and the joys of love along with the desolation of the voiceless. The poet articulates their feelings, believing most experience can be revisioned through creative work which affirms the universal impulse toward growth, life, and movement. There is no need to fear the unknown, for it is a companion traveler through all our journeying. It's all good

Home for the holidays! The master storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben, returns once more to the Christmas season with a masterful collection of classic stories. This collection consists of novellas and novelettes with each story revolving around the central theme of returning home for Christmas. They utilize Christmas and the holiday season as a setting and they perfectly capture the spirit and magic of the holidays. Christmas invokes prominent emotions, with both happiness and sadness touching our soul; however, of all the many wonderful aspects of the Christmas season, there is nothing quite as special as when a loved one returns home for Christmas. Especially so if the loved one has been away for a long amount of time. Sometimes, it is not a physical return home, but it is a return within the person’s mind. Paul John Hausleben's masterful play with our emotions often causes the plots and the emotions to run deep in these stories and encompass both the joy and the heartbreak of that most wonderful time of the year. However, in typical PJH fashion, he leaves the reader with a collection of stories that stoke your own memories of holidays of your own past and stories that remain in your mind forever. Download your eBook copy, or your paperback copy today and share in the magic of returning home to your own Christmas!

This fast moving story tells how life can slip out of the grip and take a complete different shape, how the desperate rat race to achieve all these materialistic success, forgetting the age old values that holds the society and ignoring all personal relationship or devotion or love that makes life worth living, becomes futile. It is also the story of young lives with boundless freedom and shapeless future, with youthful whims and without any destination that ended up to be an easy prey of adventure and addiction; only here the addiction is not drugs, it was worse than that, it was terrorism. It is also a story of the definite realization, which is certain to come in life at one stage. Here, in this story, all the people are from a different society, may be their concerns and approaches are slightly different but again, life and its values are almost same in everywhere and in every time. It's a story of life; worth reading.

This “stirring…emotionally raw” (Publishers Weekly) young adult debut novel about three teens entangled by secret love, open hatred, and the invisible societal constraints wrapped around people both Black and white is perfect for readers of All American Boys and The Hate U Give. There is an unspoken agreement between the racially divided towns of Bayside and Hamilton: no one steps over the train tracks that divide them. Or else. Not until Zach Whitman anyway, a white boy who moves in from Philly and who dreams of music. When he follows his dream across the tracks to meet his idol, the famous jazz musician who owns The Sunlight Record Shop in Hamilton, he’s flung into Capri Collins’s path. Capri has big plans: she wants to follow her late mother’s famous footsteps, dancing her way onto Broadway, and leaving this town for good, just like her older brother, Justin, is planning to do when he goes off to college next year. As sparks fly, Zach and Capri realize that they can help each other turn hope into a reality, even if it means crossing the tracks to do it. But one tragic night changes everything. When Justin’s friend, the star of Hamilton’s football team, is murdered by a white Bayside police officer, the long-standing feud between Bayside and Hamilton becomes an all-out war. And Capri, Justin, and Zach are right in the middle of it.
