(Part 2: I understand completely if these can't be answered.) -Did you know from the beginning of the book if Josie was going to be Patrick or Jesse? -Do you have a favorite poem or poet (like Keats), or are you much like I am with books, you can't narrow it down to just that one. -Favorite novel when you were Josie's age? Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

Hi! My mother and I loved your book Between Shades of Gray! You should come to Aiken, South Carolina to present your book. Some schools you should visit is Aiken High School and Silver Bluff High School. My question is: would you ever consider writing any other genre beside historical fiction? It would interesting to see how the book would turn out! I am pretty sure it would turn out great.

I am a huge fan of Between Shade of Grey, I always suggest them to my friends who have the same love for reading as me. I was wondering why you did the ending the way you did? I felt as though the stories just kind of stopped, I wish I could have seen Lina be released. I did however love the idea of having her leave behind a letter. What inspired you to write such an ending?
