Greta Yeager asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi! I'm both a history buff and avid reader, so your books are some of my favorites. I was wondering if you were going to write another historical fiction book. If so, what it will be about? Thank you!

Ruta Sepetys Hello Greta!

I'm so happy that you enjoy history and that you're an avid reader. That's a great combination!

Yes, I'm hard at work on another historical novel. My new book is set in Spain during the 1950's and reveals unknown history related to the Spanish dictator, Francisco Franco. I can't wait for you to read it! :)

Thanks again.

Nicole asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hey, Ruta! I'm from Lebanon and have read Between Shades of Gray. It's amazing, I love historical fiction especially those of WWII. So my question is: were you always interested in history and how did it influence your writing career exactly? If you wanted to write other historical novels, which different period would you choose? Why?

Could you explain the letter at the end of Salt to the Sea that was addressed to Florian? I love your books by the way :)

Oona

Oona asked Ruta Sepetys:

Dear Ruta, I regularly give book talks to my 12th graders. They include a brief read aloud. For example. What passages would you suggest to share with classes that would reveal enough but also conceal enough to get them curious about the novel? Hiw would you introduce the book to students in just a sentence or two? Oona Marie Abrams Chatham, New Jersey
