Ruta Sepetys:
Do you like writing with music (and if so, what type) or do you prefer quiet when you write?
Ruta Sepetys
Hi Emily!
Thanks for this great question about music. Prior to becoming an author I worked in the music business for over twenty years. I love music SO much that when I listen to music it's an all-encompassing experience. So I can't write with music. But when I'm plotting a story and just thinking about the characters and their interactions, I definitely listen to music. :)

Hi Ruta, Between Shades of Grey is one of my favorite books, it really touched a core inside me, as Romanians, we have too a complicated history with Russia and communism. When you write a book do you know from the beginning where it will lead (more precisely do you have a plan from the start with the characters or you go where the story leads?) Do you ever plan on coming to Romania?

Hi Ruta, As an English Teacher, I can tell you that my kids love your book Between Shades of Gray. I loved your latest book Salt to the Sea! How do you make history come alive? How do you research your novels? Thank you for the beautiful books. I cherish them. Karyn
