Hi Jack,
So glad you enjoyed "Salt to the Sea!" Thank you for reading it!
To research "Salt to the Sea" I traveled to six different countries tracking down information and testimonies. I spent over three years researching and writing the novel. It was a very long process but I really enjoyed it.

Hi! I have heard so many amazing things about your books and so many people have told me how brilliant your writing was... I look forward to reading all of your works :) I wanted to ask, as an aspiring author myself, how do you plan for your books? With a full out-line, or do you just sort of wing it?
