Blood in the Ground
is the third book of the Ascension Trilogy. In
this suspense filled adventure, Peyton Costello has
delivered Opossum to the authorities to serve justice
for the murders of Peyton’s parents. However, Opossum
intends to have the last word. While he awaits the
final day for his sentence to be carried out, the vile
creature plots his vengeance against Peyton. The stakes
are high: supremacy over the spiritual world set upon
the battlefield of humanity. The decisive engagement
begins…
"Although at times Blood in the
Ground can be bone chilling graphic and very dark,
nevertheless, you simply can’t put it down anticipating
what is going to happen next." EK Ellis, EK Ellis
Literary Works
"…It is a
fantastic book that will keep you reading well into the
night, because you just will not want to put it down!
Five stars on this effort from Mr. Blumenstein."
Laurie Franco, Goodreads
"I
would recommend Blood in the Ground to those who
like to read detective suspense novels, or to those who
have an interest in the paranormal. This book is packed
with both!" Mike Cesar, Cesar Book Reviews

mental institution accused of murdering his parents.
While incarcerated, his consciousness is splintered. He

string will snap, and he'll be lost forever.

Snapping the String is intense and volatile and
a book you’ll be discussing for a long time to
come." EK Ellis, EK Ellis Literary Works "Snapping
the String is a deftly written
psychological thriller leaving readers glued to the
page ... highly recommended..." James A. Cox,
The
Midwest Book Review

and retribution plot is interwoven with
chilling, mind-boggling, polarized action... A great
movie prospect." Bernie P. Nelson,

Flirtin'
with Jesus
- The First Book in the Ascension
Trilogy
Flirtin' with Jesus
is the first book in the Ascension
Trilogy. Conrad LaGrone, a
middle aged
 , is one step from homelessness.
Plagued from a life of bad choices, he
meets the dynamic and loving Bonnie
Adair who holds out a ray of hope to him
that he might set his life on the right
path. However, Detective Dietzel, a
dirty cop, Barry Brantly, a sinister
crime boss, and the reverend Isaiah
"Bubba" Brizelle, a dubious evangelical
preacher, have designs to derail Conrad
from obtaining his new lease on life. The story is peppered
with sex and violence as well as
"sacred" institutions fraught with
corruption, which the reader may find
unsettling, though equally amusing. The
reader is riveted to the character of
Conrad LaGrone, at times commiserating
with his failings, and at other times,
cheering him on to success.
"With
a full deck of plot twists and seedy
characters living under a curse of
Old Testament revenge, Flirtin’
with Jesus grabs a reader’s
attention with its intensity." Ames Arnold, formerly
The
Tampa Tribune
"Flirtin’
with Jesus takes you on a ride
and doesn’t let you off… It’s an
adrenaline rush that will have you
wanting to seek more from Mr.
Blumenstein." EK Ellis, EK Ellis
Literary Works "Think David Lynch crossed with P.T.
Barnum-- it's wild!" John
Williamson, Throttle Magazine
"When I reached the end of the book,
I wanted to keep reading..."
Danny Morris, a reviewer
