Laila asked Ruta Sepetys:

I Loved the Out of the easy and Between shades of grey very much and gave them high ratings, i own lots of books and they are my favorites out of all of them , and i wanted to ask, is there a second part to Out of the easy, because i felt that there were many maybes at the end of the book and would like to know what will happen when Josie returns , so will there be a second book?

Ruta Sepetys Thank you!
Yes, I think there could definitely be a follow up to "Out of the Easy." I have continuing stories outlined for each one of the characters. I've been thinking of perhaps creating a volume of short stories - one per character - to show the continuation of each personal journey. "Out of the Easy" was such a complete joy to write. I'm dying to come back to it.

Hello Ruta! I am an undergraduate student working towards an early education degree with a minor in psych. I adore reading your books! How many hours go into research for the books? You truly make me feel like I've been transported to another city/country in a different time period and it's truly amazing. Thank you!

I'm a huge fan of Between Shades of Grey and I can't wait to read Salt to the Sea. What made you interested in writing? And what made you so interested in historical fiction?

Louise asked Ruta Sepetys:

Hello Ruta, I loved your latest novel salt to the sea and want to read your other works. Do you have anymore in the pipeline? As I am getting older my thirst for history is becoming..... should I say Unquenchable. I was not aware of the Wilhelm Gustloff and thank you for your awareness that it has brought to so many peoples attention. Will you be coming to the UK?
