Hi Ruta, I really enjoyed 'Out of the Easy' and am looking forward to reading 'Salt to the Sea'. I was just wondering what your favourite/ least favourite part of being an author is? And did you always want to be a writer or was it something that developed later in life? Best wishes, Ella

Ruta Sepetys Hi Ella!

I'm so happy that you enjoyed "Out of the Easy!" To answer your question:

My favorite part of being an author is meeting readers.

My least favorite part of being an author is having to spend so much time in airports. I take over 150 flights per year! :(

I knew in third grade that I wanted to be a writer but it took me decades to find the courage. So it was a career path that I pursued later in life.
