Be careful! Watch your eyes! The Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts are back! And so is the Master Storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben! Flash Fiction and more! A follow-up to Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash One and Flash Two! Flash Three is the third book in the flash series and the fourth book in the series “Flash Fiction, Thoughts, Essays, and Short Stories” by Mr. Paul John Hausleben. In Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash Three, the author combines flash fiction with his random thoughts of life and then includes two short stories to create a classic collection in the series. Flash Three contains some of the author’s most poignant work, with the much-heralded flash fiction piece “A Few Beers with Jesus” and other classic flash fiction work. There are also two brand-new short stories that are sure to be classics within the author’s astounding collection of classic short stories. Once more, as was the case in the previous books in the series, this collection covers many diverse subjects between the two covers; such as humor, fantasy, real-life, passion, pain, and emotions, with a special emphasis in this book on religion and more than a touch of romance, too. As the author mentions in his notes, “In this third series in the PJH-authored books of flash fiction, I ventured off into many stories with very heavy religious overtones. I am not exactly sure why, other than it was just my mood at the time that I wrote them.” Yet, the religious and romantic stories in this collection are not heavy or forced, or preached to the reader. Instead, it is typical of the author’s other work that touches upon religion; genuine and laced with amazing storytelling. Will there be a fourth book in the series? The author sure hints that there will be! Stay tuned! This is another intriguing collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings in this very popular series, all of which highlight and demonstrate the author’s exceptional skills at writing shorter stories and flash fiction pieces. As did the other books in the series, Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts, Flash Three will 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.

An informative, entertaining, and beautifully illustrated look at the beloved firefly For centuries, the beauty of fireflies has evoked wonder and delight. Yet for most of us, fireflies remain shrouded in mystery: How do fireflies make their light? What are they saying with their flashing? And what do fireflies look for in a mate? In Silent Sparks, noted biologist and firefly expert Sara Lewis dives into the fascinating world of fireflies and reveals the most up-to-date discoveries about these beloved insects. From the meadows of New England and the hills of the Great Smoky Mountains, to the rivers of Japan and mangrove forests of Malaysia, this beautifully illustrated and accessible book uncovers the remarkable, dramatic stories of birth, courtship, romance, sex, deceit, poison, and death among fireflies. The nearly two thousand species of fireflies worldwide have evolved in different ways—and while most mate through the aerial language of blinking lights, not all do. Lewis introduces us to fireflies that don't light up at all, relying on wind-borne perfumes to find mates, and we encounter glow-worm fireflies, whose plump, wingless females never fly. We go behind the scenes to meet inquisitive scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding fireflies, and we learn about various modern threats including light pollution and habitat destruction. In the last section of the book, Lewis provides a field guide for North American fireflies, enabling us to identify them in our own backyards and neighborhoods. This concise, handy guide includes distinguishing features, habits, and range maps for the most commonly encountered fireflies, as well as a gear list. A passionate exploration of one of the world's most charismatic and admired insects, Silent Sparks will inspire us to reconnect with the natural world.
