My first six novels were traditionally published. When I got the rights back to those books and began writing new ones, we decided to "go Indie," meaning we would bypass traditional publishers and go straight to market with our novels. It's been a thrilling ride!
I've always wanted my books to be gritty, contemporary, sometimes dark, tension-filled thrillers—but with an underlying message of hope in God. For more than 20 years, one scripture has stood out as the 'vision' for my books: What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops. - Matthew 10:27 - So, now you know the story and meaning behind the name of our publishing company: Rooftop Press.

I've read a library full of books in my life. Maybe 2. But Mr. Mapes, you are special and outstanding. I would even say there is an anointing on your writing. You are my all time favorite!
