Hi Ruta ! Before I read Salt To The Sea, I had no interest in reading hisctorical fiction, but that book made me look at history in a whole new way. It opened up my eyes to the secrets of our world and I cannot wait to read 'Between shades of gray' and 'Out of the easy'. My question for you is, how long does it take for you to write a book?

Hi Carla!
Wow, to hear that "Salt to the Sea" sparked an interest in historical fiction for you means the world to me. Thank you! In terms of your question, each book is different but I generally spend at least two years researching and two years writing. So anywhere between three and four years total.
