Karlie
Karlie asked Ruta Sepetys:

I'd just like to thank you for writing Between Shades of Gray. I read it when I was in 6th grade and it had a big impact on my life. This book made me want read more World War II stories. Because of this, I discovered many more World War II stories that also greatly impacted my life. I also loved Salt to the Sea. Thank you for writing such life-changing stories. What will you write next?

Ruta Sepetys Hi Karlie! I am hard at work on a novel set in Spain in the 1950s. Thanks for asking!

Hello Ruta, I am thrilled that your new book is out and can't wait to read it. As an English teacher, when I read, I always wonder how authors put their stories together. Do you have any tips or methods that work well for you when you are developing your plot line that you wouldn't mind sharing?
