I read "Salt to the Sea" as part of tumblr's Reblog Book Club. As you might have seen, there was a lot of discussion about the character of Alfred. What are your personal thoughts/feelings about him? I for one found him interesting--and deeply unsettling--and could clearly see why someone like him would be drawn to the Nazi party.

Ruta Sepetys:
Hey Ruta! You visited my school (Tampa Prep) two years ago, and we spoke about how identity and family (or lack there of) play very important, but very different roles in both "Between Shades of Gray" and "Out of the Easy". I was wondering if the same themes are going to play as important of a role in your new book as they did in the first two. Also, how did the research processes differ between the three novels?

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
