    A young woman converts abject fear into unrelenting courage in order to survive.What would you do if someone obliterated life as you know it and stole your future? Give up? Lie down and die? Fight back? Maim? Destroy? Even kill? How far would you go to save self? To reclaim your life? Your future?Stacy Freeman grew up in Long Beach, CA, a coddled LA Valley girl. Hers was an idyllic world, absent of strife until she watched her twin sister succumb to a rare disease. Stacy vowed then and there to do everything she could to nurture and defend life. She became a nurse, married her soul mate, Cory, and set her sights on their future, dreaming of the day they would create life together by giving birth to a child.But her life and dreams are radically altered when she accompanies her husband on a back-packing trip into the northern California wilderness. For five days she's imprisoned in a fire look-out tower, physically and psychologically traumatized by the mysterious Brock Tillotson. Forced into playing a deadly mind-game of chess. "...the pages fly by. Blenkush's second thriller holds the reader in its terrifying, suspenseful grip from the first day the couple sets up their campsite all the way to the explosive climax. With Stacy, Blenkush has created a memorable protagonist who's appealingly courageous and strong-willed." ~ Kirkus Reviews "Powerful and emotionally overwhelming. I cried at the end. An incredible story. I highly recommend it." ~ Melissa Brown Levine, Independent Professional Book Reviewers "John Blenkush's novel Stacy's Story is a harrowing depiction of one woman's journey through hell on Earth. Stacy must push through the confusion and hurt to find if her love for life is enough to keep her going. What if it is not? Stacy's story brings to light many questions that are not for the faint of heart but also emphasizes that perhaps our hearts are not as faint as we may initially believe them to be." ~ Red City Reviews 5 Stars! This was a horrific story and told in Stacy's words, but it was also a story of survival and fighting back. The things done to her were beyond imagination and what makes it even scarier is the fact that things like that happen every time you open the newspaper. As I write this review we are in the middle of a Pandemic and the world seems to be going crazy, but like Stacy I am looking ahead to better times. ~ Linda Tonis Member of the Paranormal Romance Guild Review Team "Gripping from start to end. Full of real-life emotion. Makes you wonder how you would survive these circumstances! Did not want to put down until I finished!" ~ Margaret T "Thought this book was amazing. I am not into dark stories about kidnap etc. but as soon as I started to read, I just couldn't stop. Very sad, heroic, but with a very bright ending. Brilliant, and would recommend to others." ~ A.Niriain

    A maligned and shamed teenager transforms into our planet's only hope of salvation.Blenkush pens an engaging story of sorrow, courage, and learning how to love by overcoming fear in the Solstice Series. The first-person narrative features a young woman (Julissa) who is desperately trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life after the death of her boyfriend and the disappearance of her father within a year's time. Amid hardship, Blenkush tightly weaves Julissa and Aaron's slow-building relation within an engaging plot. Replete with a well-developed quasi-dystopian cast, Blenkush manages to throw in light-hearted moments. Of course of key interest-aside from Julissa and Aaron's budding romance, Blenkush spends a great deal of time incorporating within his plot historical information about the mysticism behind Mt. Shasta, the lost city of Telos, Mu (the cradle of mankind), and the Lemurians' connection with another lost city: Atlantis. Blenkush keeps his story constantly flowing by combining all of the above-mentioned literary elements, as well as including un-hackneyed scenarios and cliff-hanging chapter endings. A five-book epic tale, the Solstice Series offers fantasy romance aficionados a unique and unforgettable storyline.

    In this fantasy romance, magical realism series, a suicidal young girl transforms into the savior of an ancient race.In Telos, the city buried beneath Mount Shastina, the Remnant Lemurians' DNA strain is at its end. On the earth's surface, world apocalypse looms. A surface-equal, a virgin with virtuous heart and pure blood must be found to stave off extinction of the Lemurian race before life on earth is obliterated. To this end, the Lemurians send their equal, Aaron Delmon, topside to secure a bride.Julissa Grant just never dreamed her destiny would include becoming the Virgin Mother to the leader of the New World, producer of pluripotent cells, a manipulator of life-force energy, or an ignor-inferus - one with Lemurian physical traits but lacking the skills and wisdom of a true Lemurian. After all, she's just a sixteen-year-old Midwestern Catholic-raised girl who wanted nothing more than to find renewed hope after death and despondency crushed her idyllic perception of the world.After the deaths of her father and a dear friend, Julissa succumbs to disillusionment when her mother uproots and moves her cross-country. Throwing caution to the wind, Julissa skips class one day to go boy-hunting. Here she meets the high school's outcast, Aaron Delmon. She becomes infatuated with the golden-haired, blue-eyed boy who has mastered the Lemurian art of transferring and manipulating life-force energy and who's training to be a Mnemonist - one who remembers all. As she's drawn into Aaron's world, Julissa is introduced to a surreal Utopian way of life, one which is ruled by the Law of One - that all things are connected.As their relationship evolves, Julissa uses Aaron as a conduit to explore the Lemurian world into which she has fallen. When Aaron is suspected of murdering a classmate, relationships crumble. Loyalties are fractured. Julissa's tenuous world spirals down. When Julissa finds out she'll be moving back home to Minnesota, she panics and convinces Aaron to allow her to accompany him to the Sacred Rock on Mount Shasta. It's here where Julissa is forced to release her core-life to Aaron and dies. Aaron, in turn, carries Julissa into Telos and donates his bone marrow, restoring her with pure Lemurian blood, thus making her a viable candidate for the surface equal.Upon returning from Mount Shasta, Julissa and Aaron are forced to part ways, he returning below to Telos to heal, she remaining topside. Depressed and suicidal, Julissa searches for answers and finds them in a gang known as the Sons and Daughters of Belial, genetic Lemurians turned Atlanteans, ruled by the goddess, Nani Doris. Lacking Aaron's guidance on how to manipulate and control her life-force energy while discovering she's been embodied with the Holy Grail for healing, Julissa turns to the materialistic, power-hungry world of the Atlanteans to salve her loss and to come to terms with her notoriety. When Julissa discovers she's being targeted for defilement or death by Nani Doris, she reassesses her choice and returns home to her mother, only to find her life obliterated.Although considered ignorant and inferior (ignor-inferus) and emotionally incapable of controlling life-force energy, Julissa is the Lemurians' best option for survival. The Lemurians want Julissa to come to Telos to marry Aaron and produce the offspring HeIs, who will carry on the Lemurian DNA and rule the New World. Little of her surface life appeals to Julissa, as many of those she's loved have died. Julissa now faces a choice: remain topside to be obliterated with the rest of humanity in the coming apocalypse or escape to Telos to fulfil her new destiny as the

    A maligned and shamed teenager transforms into our planet's only hope for salvation.In Telos, the city buried beneath Mount Shastina, the remnant DNA strain of the Lemurian race is at its end. On the earth's surface, world apocalypse looms. A surface-equal - a virgin with virtuous heart and pure blood - must be found to stave off extinction of the Lemurian race before life on earth is obliterated. The Lemurians believe they have found her - sixteen-year-old Julissa Grant.With nothing left topside to hold her, the maligned and shamed Julissa makes her choice and follows the cousins into Telos. As of yet, she is unproven and considered by many of the Lemurian council a mismatch for Aaron. To prove otherwise, Julissa and Aaron are tested as avatars, walking Songline to see if they're compatible and capable of working together. Burdened with three serious flaws, greed, anger, and ignorance, Julissa fails miserably with detriment to Aaron. Julissa reluctantly agrees to return topside. But Paragon, the leader of the Lemurians offers her a chance to redeem herself by entering the Discovery Tunnel. Here she's challenged by a series of self-discovery tasks by Jungo, the last of the little people. While learning singlemindedness and with time ticking down before Armageddon's Killshot is fired, will Julissa conquer her inner demons? Or lose her place in the New World to one of her competitors?
