title: The General (Book II: The Star People Series)
author: Paul A Hansen Ph.D.
description: Getting immersed in stories has long nurtured Pauls life. From the time he was 9 years old, he rode his bike over gravel roads from his Kansas farm home to the public library in town, bringing back 2-6 books per week in his bike basket. Regularly perusing the familys two sets of encyclopedias further stimulated his already active imagination. His mother despaired of his imagination ever letting him settle down! A varied 45 year career as minister, management consultant, teacher, and psychotherapist further fed the background for his writing. Adventures in the jungles of Ecuador, the pampas of Chile, and cities and landscapes of Europe offer milieu for his stories. He designed and built the passive solar home he and his wife occupy in Colorado. From the time Paul first frustrated his parents and teachers by drawing airplanes all over his school books, flying has been a passion, culminating in the building of his own plane (1995-97), a GlaStar, which he still flies. He took his first flying lesson in a Piper Cub in 1959. See pictures and more details on pages in this website (http://paulhansenauthor.com/) under Flying. Paul hopes that his novels will not only entertain but inspire his readers. Get ready for a ride! Two non-fiction books stem from his earlier careers. Creative Stress Management for Law Enforcement and Corrections (1979) and SURVIVORS AND PARTNERS, Healing the Relationships of Sexual Abuse Survivors.(1991) The first, though out of print, may be reissued at some future date. The latter, still in print, is now out as an ebook in 2012 and available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.
