Alzada asked Ruta Sepetys:

Between Shades of Gray is one of the greatest books I have ever read as it sheds light on a topic many people aren't aware of. Have you ever considered writing a story based in Chile during the rule of Augusto Pinochet?

Ruta Sepetys Hello Alzada,

I'm so thrilled that you enjoyed "Between Shades of Gray!"

I would LOVE to write a story set in Chile during the Pinochet regime. Is there a particular aspect of the period or a particular story that you feel history is hiding??

Salt To Sea was outstanding and I have made it a suggestion for many friends. Would you ever consider continuing on that story into the next generation? It was easy to become attached to the characters and I know I would be curious to see how one would react to finding out about their heritage. Thank you and I look forward to reading more of your writings.

Katherine asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hi, I LOVED Between Shades of Gray! As an aspiring author, I was wondering if you have any advice for someone who may be interested in writing historical fiction based on their own family? (my family came from Italy to NYC in the early 1900s)
