Hi I'm Jessica! I am really inspired by your writings and I am curious as to how you can create such amazing characters with an interesting past/personality? Especially Florian, I would've never thought of a character like him.
Ruta Sepetys
Hi Jessica! I generally interview many people while researching a book. I then weave stories from many people together into one character so that way I'm representing a larger human experience and not just one person. Thanks for asking!

Hi Ruta, I recently finished an ARC of Salt to the Sea and it was absolutely stunning. I wasn't aware of what it was about until I finished it, and I was wondering; do you hope to educate people who think they're reading fiction on these 'unheard-of' events, or do you hope to attract people who already know these things - or do you just write for the love of it? I'm looking forward to reading your other books soon x

Hi Ruta! I've read your book ''Between shades of grey'' and i´m impressed, you've become one of my favorite authors and i have so many questions about the book, for example: How did Lina get thruogh life after all the things she lived? And... Andrius mom still alive when Lina found them? P.S: I'm from México, so... sorry if i have mistakes. Will you visit México soon? I'm a big fan and i'd love to see you.
