The Twelve Rings

Just Outside Nashville, Tennessee- Summer 2003-Last Session of Youth Camp

Months spent in summer heat ferrying kids on a pontoon boat has DuBell Jones ready to take off for college in the fall. The only thing keeping DuBell from screaming with joy is the obvious rising anxiety of his brother and best friend Paul Daisy. While DuBell is eager to explore a new city free from adult supervision, the coming of his birthday and the end of summer may be signaling an end to everything he and Paul have ever known. But how much distance from home is required for DuBell and Paul to experience freedom when members of the Mothers observe their every step and aim to expand the organization known as Pantheon? Tech guru, blogger, and secret agent Loni Lore-Walker (aka "Lolo Knows") is hip-deep in the intrigue alongside her former nemesis, the mysterious Sylvia Tate prepping to keep as many well-trained eyes as possible on Paul and DuBell once the duo leave the city.

Is an invisible hand pulling strings across city and state lines to push an agenda for a contest worth untold fortunes? Or is the secret cabal surrounding Dubell and Paul betting on a contest that won't even exist?

Book Two of The Twelve Rings: The Shining Beacons returns readers to the cast of A Chance For Heroes seven years later and one step closer to the finish line of this epic story. In this second episode of The Twelve Rings, readers are treated to secret agents in the post Y2K tech boom, a funk music rechristening, high fantasy hallucinations, and a continuing story about brotherhood, finding love, and finally understanding dreams. If this story fails to attract and keep readers' full attention the second time, we'll travel back in time and fix it until it does. We fully expect you will love it.
