Book Interview with Terri Reed
#1. What was the inspiration for this book?
The inspiration for FORCED TO HIDE was from an experience I had where I testified in court. As I sat there, I thought, what if—a court room was attacked? What if—the judge was the target? From there I started playing with ideas until a story formed and Judge Adele Weston was born.

#3. Do you have favorite character(s) in this book?
Whoa! Hard question. I love both of the main characters and the dog, Scout! Each character has a unique personality, set of wounds and opportunities for growth. I love when characters grow in a story.

#5. How did you name your characters?
The judges name came from one of my favorite singers, Adele. LOL. Adele had just done a huge concert that was all over social media and I really love her work so I decided to name my character after her.

#6. Tell us something funny, sad, embarrassing, whatever, that happened involving this book.
When I started writing this book, I was on a team of decorators who were honored enough to decorate a room at the historic Pittock Mansion in Portland Oregon. Our theme for our room was 101 Dalmatians. So, I decided to give Adele a Dalmatian dog. It was so fun to add a dog to the story. I love to write stories with dogs.

This verse seemed appropriate for Adele, who was being threatened by unknown forces. I love how God’s word provides us all with advice and comfort.
