Each Sunday “Inspired by Life…and Fiction” shares a Christian novelist’s newest book and the garden spots where they find inspiration.
When Creston Mapes isn’t writing contemporary suspense novels, like his upcoming Sky Zone, he works as a freelance writer for clients such as Coca-Cola, The Weather Channel, Focus on the Family, ABC-TV, and many others. Creston and his family have resided in the Atlanta metropolitan area for more than twenty years, most recently in a suburb northeast of the city. He married his hometown sweetheart and they have four children. Besides enjoying time with his family on the screened-in porch with a view of their beautiful backyard retreat (also the view from Creston’s office), he loves reading, painting, morning runs with his old yellow Lab Jared, watching hockey, going on dates with his wife, and spending time in God’s Word. Find out more about Creston and his novels at www.crestonmapes.com.

DEBORAH RANEY's first novel, A Vow to Cherish, inspired the World Wide Pictures film of the same title and launched Deb’s writing career. Forty books later, she's still creating stories that touch hearts and lives. Her novels have won RWA's RITA Award, the ACFW Carol Award, the National Readers Choice Award, and the HOLT Medallion. She is also a three-time Christy Award finalist. Deb is on faculty for several national writers’ conferences and served on the executive board of the 2,500-member American Christian Fiction Writers organization for 18 years before retiring in 2022. She is a recent transplant to Missouri, having moved with her husband, Ken Raney, from their native Kansas to be closer to kids and grandkids. They love road trips, e-biking, Friday garage sale dates, and breakfast on the screened porch overlooking their wooded backyard.
