Ring the Bell: A Southern Gothic Paranormal Mystery Series with Witty Humor
Tales from Uncle Joe
Book 7: Ring the Bell
A Southern Gothic Paranormal Mystery Series with Witty HumorFaith can be powerful.
And in the wrong hands, it can be deadly.
With her master’s degree in criminal justice underway at LSU, Holly stumbles onto a disturbing lead—rumors of a secretive cult operating in the Louisiana backwoods, staging fake faith healings and claiming the impossible…including the power to raise the dead.
When Holly brings the tip to Uncle Joe, he knows this isn’t just another strange story. Freshly launched into private investigation with Holly and Sheriff Landry at his side, Joe sees the case as their first real test—and possibly their most dangerous.
Going undercover, the team quickly discovers the cult isn’t just preying on desperate believers. It’s hiding something far darker beneath the surface. Something protected by intimidation, manipulation, and people willing to kill to keep the truth buried.
As the investigation tightens, Uncle Joe and his crew find themselves walking a thin line between justice and becoming the next victims.
Because when blind faith meets corruption, the fallout is never holy.
Blending Southern wit, eerie suspense, and conspiracy-driven mystery, this seventh installment in the Uncle Joe series delivers a chilling investigation where the scariest monsters wear human faces.
Some miracles are manufactured, and some lies are lethal.
"Uncle Joe is a man full of surprises, a true warrior who’s experienced terror and injustice, and fights against it. I recommend you read this book and join me reading other Tales from Uncle Joe." — Amazon Review for Tales from Uncle Joe

About the author
Randall Lane
73 books6 followersHello everyone!
My name is Randall Lane, and I am an Author of all things Horror, Mystery, Suspense, and the Unexplained. I grew up loving and watching R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps. It wasn’t until the age of ten that I discovered a Frank Peretti novel titled "Monster" in a rural South Carolina Walmart. I never heard of the man, but thought the cover looked "cool". I read the book front to back at least three times that year. As soon as I learned it had something to do with Sasquatch, I couldn’t put it down. That book introduced me at an early age to the world of writing fiction. A little more than a decade later, I took the dive to become a writer and have yet to look back nor do I ever plan to. I enjoy developing unique and relatable characters who find themselves forced to confront terrifying circumstances.
Some of my most read authors include Stephen King, C.J. Box, Ted Dekker, Frank Peretti, Steven James, and James Lee Burke. I love the way these guys craft their stories, and their work has had a tremendous influence on my style and voice. If you enjoy reading a book from one of the fellows mentioned above, then my books will be right down your alley.
I enjoy kayak fishing, watching Brave's baseball games, and cooking various sorts of seafood while jamming out to some Creedence Clearwater Revival, Alabama, Bob Seger, etc. I'm also a huge fan of John Denver, Chuck Berry, Howlin Wolf, Hank Williams Sr, and so many others from the "good ol' days" as I'm quite the old soul at heart.

Hope to have you join me, my characters, and my amazing readers as we continue to see where this journey of fiction leads.
