SNAPPING THE
STRING - Second Book in
the Ascension Trilogy
Snapping the String is the second
book in the Ascension Trilogy. In this tale, Peyton
Costello languishes away in a secure forensic unit of a
mental institution accused of murdering his parents.
While incarcerated, his consciousness is splintered. He
tethers himself to the faint hope that one day he will
be exonerated from this horrific crime. Peyton must pull
himself back into reality, or the thinly stretched
string will snap, and he'll be lost forever.
"Snapping
the String is a deftly written
psychological thriller leaving readers glued to the
page ... highly recommended..." James A. Cox,
The
Midwest Book Review
"The author's uplifting theme and the karmic redress
and retribution plot is interwoven with
chilling, mind-boggling, polarized action... A great
movie prospect." Bernie P. Nelson,
The Mindquest
Review of Books
"In Snapping the String, Robert Paul
Blumenstein has written a brilliant book." Gary Dale
Cearley, Bookpleasures |

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
divorcé, 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.
"Think David Lynch crossed with P.T.
Barnum-- it's wild!"
John
Williamson, Throttle Magazine
"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, freelance writer
"When I reached the end of the book,
I wanted to keep reading..."
Danny Morris, a reviewer
