The Nightmare if Far From Over
Rogan Sneed rots in prison for the massacre he unleashed on Portland’s Pioneer Square. The copycat is dead. The city’s wounds have healed. But then, a blip on the screen. A teenage girl vanishes without a trace, her diary hinting at a third conspirator in the heinous attack that claimed 21 lives.
Portland police veteran Wayne Deetz should be coasting toward retirement. Instead, he’s careening into a harrowing underworld, the likes of which he’s never encountered before. A local plumber emerges as a person of interest in the girl’s disappearance, but Deetz believes a far more sinister force is at work.
Still struggling to tame the demons of his anxiety, Deetz is out of time and up against an evil that hits disturbingly close to home. He races to connect the dots before another strike triggers catastrophic carnage.
From the blood-stained streets of Pioneer Square to the murkiest depths of the American underworld, join Deetz’s pulse-pounding quest to stop a mastermind intent on finishing what was started and delivering a city to its knees.
With tension on every page, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author Creston Mapes demonstrates why he is a “Top Pick” among Christian suspense fans and those who love religious mysteries.

Reader Praise for Let My Daughter Go
????? WOW! I read this book in 3 hours! I could not put it down . . . I was delighted to see that the third in the series, I Pick You, is releasing tomorrow, and I have already pre-ordered it! Definitely adding Creston Mapes to my favorite authors list.
????? This is a riveting story that had my heart pounding & on the edge of my seat, turning page after page. I had a hard time finding a good stopping point so didn’t do that much until I reached the end. This can be read as a stand-alone but it does reference the event from book 1 so reading the series from the start might make the series more enjoyable. Now I am anxious to read book 3.
????? I was on the edge of my seat reading this book. An older policeman hoping to retire in a year gets caught up in helping citizens that need him. When the cover says Christian fiction thriller, that is very true! This policeman has a special needs daughter and you will fall in love with her. She is so loving. If you are not a Christian I think you would still enjoy this book. Good characters and storyline. I recommend this book!
????? If you want to read a very intense and moving Christian work of fiction then this is the book for you.
Detective Deetz is working around the clock to find the kidnapped young woman. Things escalate when his own teenage daughter is also kidnapped. The whole PD has to act quickly to find the two kidnapped victims and to find the connection.
You won’t be disappointed if you want to read a real to life crime story.
????? I picked this up on a whim while we were on vacation . . . I had no idea it was Christian fiction when I bought it. Nevertheless, it’s a story that moves quickly and held my interest such that I finished it in a few hours. I then bought the rest of the books in the series. They are all enjoyable, and sometimes that’s all I want, is to be entertained. This book will not challenge you intellectually, but it will give you an uplifting story.

Hell just got a lot hotter—and it has nothing to do with fire or brimstone and everything to do with an immortal Scottish Druid warrior…
So, long story short, I died when I was hit by a truck full of chickens.
Right, I literally got chick-filleted.
But my soul took a detour it wasn’t supposed to—and now I’ve been yanked out of the great beyond and offered a second chance at life.
The catch? I have to work for AfterLife Enterprises, a shady celestial corporation that made one teeny-tiny mistake back in Y2K—accidentally sending thousands of souls to the Underground City instead of Heaven.
Guess who gets to retrieve them?
Armed with a sword I can barely lift and an alcoholic, useless “guardian angel” named Bill, I’m now officially a soul retriever essentially navigating the circles of hell, but this hell goes by the name of The Underground City.
And this is by far the worst job I’ve ever had.
I would’ve been demon chow by day two… if not for Tallis Black (the immortal Scottish dude mentioned earlier).
A brooding, Celtic warrior with a deadly past and a body carved by the gods themselves, Tallis is all sharp edges, burning glances, and that voice—deep and rough like molten steel. Guarded, unfriendly, and completely lethal, Tallis hates everyone–almost as much as he hates himself. He’s like the quintessential bad boy–everything I should run from.
But when Tallis offers to guide me through the infernal chaos of the Underground City, I’m too desperate to say no.
Now I’m stuck navigating hell with a man who growls more than he speaks and looks at me like he’s trying to decide whether to kiss me or kill me.
Oh, and let’s not forget Alaire—the seductive, psychotic ruler of the Underground City. Alaire’s a man as deadly as he is evil, packaged as a handsome, successful businessman in a suit. And for some reason, Alaire’s got a thing for me–a thing that could cost me my life…
The deeper Tallis, Bill and I go into the Underground City, the more I realize Tallis is hiding things—dangerous things. Secrets that could unravel everything I thought I knew about him, the afterlife… and myself.
And somewhere between trying to dodge Alaire’s advances, learning how to use my sword, the soul-stealing demons, and the scorching tension between Tallis and me, I begin to wonder if the real danger isn’t surviving the Underground City… it’s falling for Tallis.
Perfect for fans of spicy urban fantasy, brooding immortal heroes, laugh-out-loud banter, and reluctant heroines who find their strength in the darkest places.
This series is your next must-read if you love: enemies to lovers, antiheroes with dark secrets, fated mates, forbidden love, found family, and Druid magic wrapped in a really sexy package.

” A top fun comfort read.”~ Gail Carriger
A dragon’s imagination is very rapid. It jumps from separation to anxiety, and anxiety to wreaking havoc.
Fitzwilliam Darcy finds caring for a baby dragon more of a fraught guardianship than anticipated. Little Pemberley may have survived a perilous hatching and still successfully imprinted on humans, but she’s pining for one particular human to the point she is fast becoming a danger to herself and others.
Elizabeth Bennet may yearn for baby Pemberley, but she has her own share of misfortunes to manage. Her cousin Mr. Collins, heir to the Longbourn entail, has decided that marrying her will add very greatly to his future happiness. While the estate dragon agrees–and insists she accept him–Elizabeth and the rest of Longboun’s dragons insist he is the last man in the world whom she could ever be prevailed on to marry–a better dragon’s dinner than a husband.
It’s disappointment and spleen all around as Lady Catherine de Bourgh involves herself in the affair after hearing reports of a most alarming nature. There are few people in England besides herself who could make things worse. In that, Lady Catherine is a true proficient.
Baby Pemberley’s fate is caught in a deadly tangle of families and fortunes, forcing Darcy and Elizabeth to take the biggest gamble of their lives to win or lose it all.
A fresh new gas lamp fantasy adventure in the engrossingly intricate world of Jane Austen’s Dragons. Anne McCaffrey meets Jane Austen perfect for dragon lovers and regency-era fans alike.
Book 2 in the Jane Austen’s Dragons series.
