A New Jersey Christmas Carol

Book excerpt: 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!
