Goodreads asked Danielle Cress:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Danielle Cress In a word(name), God. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour, the God of the Universe, gives me the ideas for every book. He does this is all sorts of ways, it can be something on the radio news, a newspaper headline, a conversation with a friend or stranger, I never know until it happens. In the case of Hidden Treasures, it was a word game from my youth. I used to play this word game about finding words within a paragraph of words and when I was reading one day, in the Bible, I came across a hidden word and there ya have it. That hidden word inspired me to write Hidden Treasures, but the word was given by God.
