Hello, Ms. Sepetys. I think your Salt to The Sea was THE first historical fiction novel I've ever read. And trust me, I cried at the end. Anyways, I was wondering, will you ever set a book in Iran? I'm from there and I actually never seen a YA novel or even any book (fictional) than is set in Iran. Is it possible for you to do that? And CAN YOU COME TO DUBAI PLEASE???? I live there and literally NO authors come. Thx!

Hi Ali, thank you so much for your questions! I have a list of 26 ideas for novels. Whenever I finish a book, I sit down with my agent and we determine together what my next book will be. I would love to visit Dubai in the future!

I have also to find that you are planning on publishing another WWII story can you give us any hints on the story line? As well as this, being an avid reader I very much hope that you would strongly consider making a sequel to out with the easy. It's left me with so many "what-if's" and "I-wonder's". I would also like to say that, Between Shades of Gray is my all time favorite book Thank you for that!!:)

Thank you for sharing the story of Salt to the Sea: both the historical parts and the characters' stories. In what ways do you support survivors of sexual assault-- the Amelias of our world-- and in what ways would you encourage us to do so? And are you familiar with the horrors of the "comfort women" of World War II?
