Sarah asked Ruta Sepetys:

First off, I just want to say that Between Shades of Gray is one of the most amazing novels ever written and it changed my life. For "Salt to the Sea" tour, I was wondering if you would be coming to Ohio, specifically Northeast Ohio? I would love to meet you!

Ruta Sepetys Hello Sarah!

Thanks so much for your message and the kind words about "Between Shades of Gray." I have been trying to visit Ohio (Cleveland) for quite some time and I'm really hoping that the "Salt to the Sea" tour takes me up there. Fingers crossed!! :-)

AHHH! Salt to the Sea was so good and I'm looking forward to reading Between Shades of Gray! Which character in Salt to the Sea was the hardest research/write? Love your book(s) and I hopefully you can come to Washington soon! :)

Delaney

Delaney asked Ruta Sepetys:

I have read all three of your books and absolutely love them! I am currently in high school and am interested in possibly writing plays and musicals when I'm older. Out of curiosity, what do you think about a stage adaptation of any of your books? I can't wait for Ashes in the Snow to come out! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me!

Tracy

Tracy asked Ruta Sepetys:

Where do you find your inspiration for these historical fiction books? The true events for these stories are not well covered in our school curriculums, but my students love the books! Is there a certain time period that peaks your interest? Are there certain stories that you feel compelled to bring attention to that have been ignored?
