The 12 Trilogy Has been postponed


Hey Bloggers!

I know you're probably thinking that at this point, The 12 Trilogy is never coming out. Well no, just not yet. Due to personal set backs and distractions, The 12 Trilogy won't be coming out on December 12th, 2012. But don't you worry, trust that I will make it worth your wait.

12 - PART I: THE BIRTH OF 12

Copyright © 2011 of James A. Pettis, III

This is Part I of The 12 Trilogy and will cover the beginning of 12 coming together against the darkness. Part I consists of three arcs (Birth of the 12 Arc, The Journey Begins Arc, and The Betrayal Arc) and twenty four chapters.

When a dark organization known as the Dark Shadows begins to roam the Earth wreaking havoc, The Light (God) decides to awaken the supernatural abilities of twelve young people to be the defenders of the world. The Light has chosen twelve nineteen year olds: Peter-Simon Houston was chosen as the leader and his brother Andrew Houston was chosen as second in command. Joining them are James Howards and his twin brother John Howards, Philip Clarkson and his cousin Nathanial Rhodes, Matthew Jackson, Thomas Scott, Jaime Towers, Jude Ryans, Simon Richardson, and Judas Parker. Together, the 12 will travel the earth and stop the Dark Shadows from Corrupting cities and towns while trying to find three prophecies that will unlock secrets to their true destiny.

Alternate Version of 12 (A Novel) cover

Copyright © 2010 of James A. Pettis, III

Hey!! Guys more stuff about 12 (A Novel) is on the way! I know I've been slacking... but that's because I have more book ideas to share with my followers. Rose (A Novel) is one of them, and the other is the WING Blade (Book Series). Anyway, I have been coming up with new cover art ideas for 12 and I will be posting it on this blog for your viewing. Here are the versions I have so far:

Original Version:

Copyright © 2010 of James A. Pettis, III

Simple but bold I like to call it. I used a simple black backdrop and used the Helvetica Neue LT Std font in red to make it pop. But, I felt it was too simple... so I came up with others.


First Alternate cover:

Love this one! It's extremely bold, but not crazy. I used a font to create the cross illusion, coloring it with different shades of red. And I used a very bold font, Wide Latin, to make the words stand out from the cross and the black backdrop. My inspiration for this was like a bible with a large cross on the front, I just spruced it up a bit *smiles*.


Tell me what you think about these because more alternate covers on the way!

Are You Ready For "12 (A Novel)"?

Copyright © 2010 of James Pettis, III

Welcome to my blog for my upcoming novel "12". For those of you who don't know, I am the creator of "Inside the Mind of the Creator" blog on blogger. And if you have seen my blog before, you probably know I am currently working on a novel under the working title "12 (A Novel)". This blog is specially for the book to promote it and post info about it as I write it. You'll get updates on Chapters that are done, Sneak peeks from chapters, various cover concepts and art, backgrounds on the characters and the amazing locations they will visit, and much more. I also have a count down clock attached to this post that has its own page titled Countdown to "12 (A Novel)". Now for those who don't know what "12 (A Novel)" is about, here is the description (Which has its own page):

They were born on the same day... born in the same year... they're known as 12. The 12 that God gave supernatural abilities, and they are descendants of the first chosen 12 (the twelve disciples of Jesus). The 1st is Peter-Simon Houston, with his power of premonition, knowing, and connection with spirits; 2nd is Andrew Houston (Peter-Simon's fraternal twin brother), with his power of time manipulation; 3rd is James Howards and his twin brother John Howards (the 4th), with their abilities of thunder and lightning; 5th is Philip Clarkson, with his power of earth manipulation; 6th is Nathanial Rhodes, with his power of molecular manipulation; 7th is Matthew Jackson, with his power of telekinesis; 8th is Thomas Scott, with his power of healing; 9th is Jamie Towers, with her ability of telepathy; 10th is Jude Ryans, with her ability of wind control; 11th is Simon Richardson, with his ability of teleportation; and 12th is Judas Parker (with his unknown abilities). Lead by the Spirit, the 12 protect the world from the darkness that tries to consume it. But one day, darkness becomes too strong as the Last days come upon us. It is up to the 12 to stop the Dark Shadows and rid the Earth of its evil bondage.

So, Are you ready for "12 (A Novel)"? Stay posted for more info and keep watching that countdown clock for December 12, 2012!
