Reader Praise for Signs of Life
★★★★★ Another Homerun. I have read all of Creston’s novels and never been disappointed. This new one is another homerun in my opinion. The story goes back and forth between the two main characters in a very unique way. I don’t want to spoil anything but I will say that by the time you get about half way through the story it really is difficult to put it down. I loved it.
★★★★★ This was a great book. Faith-based thriller and very hard to put down. I’ve read several books by this author and they were all spellbinding. Well worth reading Mr. Mapes books!
★★★★★ Our Book Club Loved It! Creston has done it again! He draws you into the story with well-developed characters . . . I look forward to a sequel and other books from this author.
★★★★★ Creston Mapes has long been one of my favorite authors. I think this offering could be his best work ever.
★★★★★ Nail-biting adventure. Thank you Creston Mapes for another edge-of-my-seat, nail-biting story. Couldn’t put it down!

Author Bio:
Creston Mapes grew up in northeast Ohio, where he has fond memories of living with his family of five in the upstairs portion of his dad’s early American furniture store – The Weathervane Shop. Creston was not a good student, but the one natural talent he possessed was writing.
He set type by hand and cranked out his own neighborhood newspaper as a kid, then went on to graduate with a degree in journalism from Bowling Green State University. Creston was a newspaper reporter and photographer in Ohio and Florida, then moved to Atlanta, Georgia, for a job as a creative copywriter.
Creston served for a stint as a creative director, but quickly learned he was not cut out for management. He went out on his own as a freelance writer in 1991 and, over the next 30 years, did work for Chick-fil-A, Coca-Cola, The Weather Channel, Oracle, ABC-TV, TNT Sports, colleges and universities, ad agencies, and more. He’s ghost-written more than ten non-fiction books.
Along the way, Creston has written many contemporary thrillers, achieved Amazon Bestseller status multiple times, and had one of his novels (Nobody) optioned as a major motion picture.
Creston married his fourth-grade sweetheart, Patty, and they have four amazing adult children. Creston loves his part-time job as an usher at local venues where he gets to see all the latest-greatest concerts and sporting events. He enjoys reading, fishing, thrifting, bocci, painting, pickleball, time with his family, and dates with his wife.
