Flirtin with Jesus is the first book of The Ascension Trilogy. Conrad LaGrone, a middle aged divorc, 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 Brantley, 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.
The care of pregnant women presents one of the paradoxes of modern medicine. Women usually require little medical intervention during an (uneventful) pregnancy. Conversely, those at high risk of damage to their own health or that of their unborn require the help of appropriate medicinal technology, including drugs. Accordingly, there are two classes of pregnant women, the larger group requires support but not much intervention, while the other needs the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic measures applied in any other branch of medicine. This book presents the current state of knowledge about drugs in pregnancy. In each chapter information is presented separately for two different aspects of the problem seeking a drug appropriate for prescription during pregnancy, and assessing the risk of a drug when exposure has already taken place. Practising clinicians who prescribe medicinal products to women who are, or who may become, pregnant, will find this volume an invaluable reference.

Robert Paul Blumenstein delivers another engaging adventure drawing out a story that blurs the literary lines between science fiction and fantasy. "The author's vivid imagination and storytelling captivates your attention, daring you to ask questions and provoking you to find answers." EK Ellis for EK Ellis Literary Works "Robert Paul Blumenstein has written a very well put together piece of literature; it has been very well researched and flows very smoothly throughout. He was not afraid to throw in topics which other people tend to glance over at times, the dialogue that is used is very modern with realistic exchanges between the characters." Mike Cesar for Cesar Book Reviews, Dublin, Ireland "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 for Goodreads.com

A CHILLING PSYCHO-THRILLER! "In the tradition of Southern fiction, Blumenstein's tale unfolds in a world by terms weird, hilarious, and horrifying; yet disturbingly like our own. His characters are vividly idiosyncratic and vividly portrayed; bitingly satirical and rich in irony.." Dr. John D. Lawson, Robert Morris University, author of Generations "A rough and rowdy work, full of twists and turns; Snapping the String grabs you with its vivid imagery and true-to-life characters from the 'git-go'." Ames Arnold, freelance author Snapping the String is the second book of 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.
