Hey Ruta! I'm from the U.S and I LOVE YOUR BOOKS! Out of The Easy is my personal favorite (I'm sorry I'm fangirling so much right now). I was just wondering what is your most favorite novel that you have written or someone else? Also, can I feature this on my blog?(http://floralpatternbooks.blogspot.com/)

Hello Amena!
Thanks so much for your kind words and for submitting a question. Sure, I'd be honored if you featured the reply on your blog.
It's so hard to choose a favorite of the novels I've written. That would be like choosing a favorite child. :) But I will say that I experienced the most joy while writing "Out of the Easy." I had such fun writing that novel and the characters are still "with" me. Writing "Between Shades of Gray" and "Salt to the Sea" was very transformative, but also emotionally challenging to stay present within the tragedy and suffering. But writing "Out of the Easy" was pure joy!

Between Shades of Gray is one of my all-time favorite novels. I love the book so much, but each time I read it, Lina's story wipes me out emotionally. I can't imagine having to get into her head and write about the horrors of her captivation. Was it hard to write about such a serious subject matter? Also, a bit less relevant to the book, but is a movie adaption actually going to happen? Thank you!
