Hi Ruta! You are an amazing writer! When did you know you wanted to become an author?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Shannon,

Thank you! I knew I wanted to be an author when I was very young. I wrote my first book in 3rd grade. It was called "The Adventures of Betsy." :)
But after a while, I lost my courage to write and feared I didn't really have a talent for it. So after "The Adventures of Betsy" it took decades for me to write again.

Thanks for asking!

Hi Ruta, I was wondering, did you outline your AMAZING books prior to writing? If you did, any tips on how to do this? Thanks in advance, Mikaela (Bulgaria)

Adriana Duffy asked Ruta Sepetys:

I am a HUGE fan of your books and an aspiring author. How do you come up with your book ideas? Also -- do you have any music you like to listen to while writing? (all of your books have honored places on my "favorites" book shelf btw!!)
