Hello! I really enjoyed your book "Between Shades of Gray" and I noticed you have a variety of well-written characters. I was wondering, what was your favorite character to write?
Ruta Sepetys
Hello Sofia!
One of my favorite characters to write in "Between Shades of Gray" was the character of Kretzsky, the Soviet guard. Kretzsky was conflicted and forced into a difficult situation. But amidst all of that, he displayed true courage— showing kindness in an atmosphere of cruelty.
Thank you for asking!

Hi Ruta! I just finished 'Salt to the Sea', and it was amazing! Thank you for writing it, and for telling the stories that history so often forgets. My question is this: If you lived 200 years in the future, what current events would you be the most drawn to illuminating through historical fiction, and why? Thanks!

Hi Ruta, Very excited for your next book coming out have read both Between the Shades of Grey and Out of the Easy..loved both for their individual stories. I have a couple of questions. 1) Is there any travel time scheduled to come to Australia this year? If not, how do we make it happen? 2) When you are writing your main female characters, is making them strong willed an important characteristic? :) Nat
