The work continues. The Elohim Trilogy blossomed and became more than three books. Are these other books just supplemental? Is it six books? Seven? What came first? 🙀
And so, here is the confusing order of the books in my "trilogy." There's also a brief description of each and the (cough) final covers for them.
I am also including a little more. Below you will see a dramatic title: A Song for Adam Kadmon. And below it, there is an outline, for a story. A really long song. If George can have his song, why can't I? Yes, three acts. The Elohim Trilogy is just the first act. Lots of books follow. Lots. And a few comic books too. Just for the hell of it!

Book 1 (Absolution Redux):

Book 1.5 (The Wizards):
Between urban myth and urban fantasy lie the Wizards.
The Wizards is more than just a collection of short stories. It is a multigenerational composite novel that delves into the lives of the Wendells, a patchwork family of orphans brought together by Wendell the Great. These too-human men and women struggle with mastering the Power as much as they do with one another and the landscape of Southern California. From the 1940s to the Present, The Wizards goes back and forth across Time to tell its story.
When the Executor altered Reality at the end of the original Absolution, it gave an opportunity to a monstrously powerful being to escape their prison. The Executor doesn't care and the dead detective is not available to do something about it. So, it is up to the Wizards to stop this threat. The only problem is that this being can travel back and forth in Time, attempting again and again to defeat its opponents.

Book 2 (Ascension):
Life after death has been a curious experience for murdered Private Investigator Raymond Adams. He was brought back to life in 2011 to investigate a murder in present-day Hollywood; with the help of his great-granddaughter, Jenn Adams (who was a bit of a saucy wench), he solved the case. Thanks to his success as a dead detective, his dead wife, Karen Adams was pulled out of Hell and reincarnated.
Unfortunately, when the case was over, Raymond Adams was sent back to the Abstract Realm (Limbo / Purgatory). And there he stayed until…
A Lady of the Realms approaches Detective Adams with a job for him: Her 12-year-old daughter, Ashima, was kidnapped in Los Angeles; the Lady doesn’t feel that the human policemen are up to the task of finding a Divine lordling. If Adams helps the Lady and finds Ashima, she promises to let him spend time with his daughter, Samantha. Though Adams feels the Lady isn’t telling him everything about the job, the temptation to see his daughter and be with her and explain that he should have been a better father… It’s too great.
He agrees and is brought back to life for 24 hours again on November 2nd, 2020--the Day of the Dead. And very quickly, a simple kidnapping case becomes a duel with Death itself. Adams has faced Death once, like all mortals do, and lost. This time, to see Samantha again, he must find a way to save Ashima and beat Death.
It’s a daunting task, but like before, the dead detective has help: Jenn Adams joins him again; he also will have the added strength of Officer Maeve Flanagan, who the world knows as the Wizard of Hollywood--she might be his most powerful ally. But Maeve has her own secrets. Troubling secrets. And she could become a bigger problem than Death.

Book 2.25 (The Quantum of the Past: Redux!):
At the end of the original Absolution, the Executor traveled back in Time and altered Reality. But by doing so, he set in motion a plan to end his existence and collapse Creation. Because of his actions, there is The Quantum of the Past REDUX...
In the Abstract Realm, the dead private investigator, Raymond Adams, is with the original Jenn Adams, trying to find a way to stop the Executor. That is, until the Executor asks Adams to do a job for him: Find a blackmailer named Janos Sandoval.
Janos has stolen the Ima pendant. It is a mystical artifact attached to a necklace that, when worn by the right host, summons one of the Elder Sisters called the Mother--the mother of Elohim. And unless the Executor and the Committee meet Janos' demands, he will give the pendant and necklace to Virginia Dare, so she can summon the Mother.
His demands? Janos wants the Committee to elevate humanity, help them transcend the petty state they are stuck in. That way, humanity can create the utopia promised by Elohim.
Adams is uniquely familiar with the Ima pendant and accepts the job. As a reward, the Executor will reincarnate him, so he can reunite with his reincarnated wife, Karen Adams. But the whole case doesn't seem right to Detective Adams.
Wouldn't it be a good thing to elevate humanity?
Regardless, he agrees to find Janos in Hollywood. The Executor quickly brings Adams back to life for 24 hours. But the rules of this case are different.
Detective Adams is forbidden from contacting the Jenn Adams who is still alive, and also Harry the Shadow Monger. Instead, he teams up with Prince Desmond and a famous Hollywood movie star, Elizabeth Benson.
The odd blackmail case has multiple twists and turns. It soon becomes a quest to solve the mystery of the elusive Elohim. Just how powerful did Elohim become? And where is Elohim now?
With Elizabeth's help, everything seems to be going well...really well. It's going so well that Adams starts to have feelings for her. So, why does he think that Elizabeth has her own agenda? And why does falling in love with her seem so right, like a road they have already traveled together?
In the final chapter of the Elohim Trilogy, the Executor will hold nothing back to win. The Wizards are no more. The others who could stand up to the villain are scattered and embittered by the losses they have suffered. And even if Raymond Adams can gather their strength to fight, the Executor still has one last secret that will crush the dead detective.
The Past that haunts Miles Trevor is relentless, with even its most fundamental fragment...
Iraq war veteran, Miles Trevor, has survivor's guilt after living through an insurgent attack that killed the rest of his platoon, but left him unharmed. Now, he wants nothing more than to return to the military and be a part of the mission once again. Yet, his mind is crumbling; he sometimes hallucinates, seeing the soldiers who died that day. With madness looming in the shadows, the army will never grant him his wish.
So, when the supernatural--in the form of a teen Sprite named Kendra--offers him a chance for redemption, he takes it. All the girl wants is to go home to a magical city called Lusphera to fulfill her holy destiny, and find out why her father wants to stop her.
But with Miles losing his grip on sanity, he may not be the best man for this task. In fact, he may be her biggest threat...
This edition collects the previously released volumes 1, 2, and 3, including the appendices.

Book 2.5 (The Wizards Collide):
After the events of Ascension: Book Two of the Elohim Trilogy, Maeve Flanagan acquired the Orb of Time and also the Nameless Terror. They are more than just pendants; within each is an Elder Sister, two beings that are as ancient as they are monstrously powerful. The Wizards have already lost several loved ones while trying to stop the Orb of Time and want nothing more than to destroy it, or at least keep it away from humanity. But Maeve Flanagan doesn't think that the other Wizards can contain the might of the Elder Sisters. They yielded to her and only her, so they should remain in her possession.
And so begins The Wizards Collide. As the Wizards struggle against Maeve Flanagan and the Elder Sisters, they are soon visited by other threats: Desmond, a son of Master Night, and a Prince of Darkness; the Wendell doppelgängers--exact copies of Wendell the Great who, for unknown reasons, are helping the traitorous Prince Desmond; and the Executor, the mastermind behind the plan to end Creation.
In the end, the Wizards will suffer great losses and have to make painful sacrifices in order to...do what exactly? Stop Prince Desmond and the Executor and save Creation? But that is the Future. And, as the Wizards learned when they fought Isis and the Orb of Time, trying to alter the Future can have devastating consequences.
