Heaven's Gain

Book excerpt: What do we have when the master storyteller, Paul John Hausleben, decides to sprinkle pages with tidbits of all the adventures of his famous and beloved characters? When he adds some tragedy, raw emotion, more than just a touch of sports action and adds a few new characters to the never-ending mix? When he adds some of his wild and unique humor, a little roundabout religion, a few stunning surprises, and then finally, while it is all in the storytelling blender, Mr. Hausleben adds doses of romance and love? We have this magnificent novel, Heaven’s Gain! Heaven’s Gain is the sixth and the final book in the series of The Adventures of Harry and Paul. It is an epic novel of emotional and magical storytelling and it is the memorable conclusion to the many adventures of Mr. Paul John Hausleben’s most beloved characters. This is the pinnacle of Mr. Hausleben’s storytelling magic, from the author who tells stories of common human emotions and everyday life, which always captures our hearts and our minds. As the author honestly states in the Preface to Heaven’s Gain, “I guess that it is time to admit that the two characters are a part of me, as I am a part of them too. In a roundabout manner, I will profoundly miss them.” Because of the master storyteller’s remarkable ability to make his character’s fictional lives so real, and his skill at perfectly capturing the details of life all around us all, readers everywhere agree with him and will have to admit that they will miss them too. Now, with Heaven’s Gain, we have the joy of having experienced the unforgettable magic of The Adventures of Harry and Paul one last time.
