Dear Ms.Funke, How did you come up with the idea/title of Inkheart, was there any inspiration for it?
Cornelia Funke
I always knew it needs to be called Tintenherz/Inkheart, but I remember wondering why myself - until I though: Yes! Capricorn's heart is as black as ink!:)

Cornelia Funke:
Hi Cornelia! I read and finished your series Inkheart a few years ago, and I fell in love with the books; the story; the characters; the world. One thing that bothered me though was the cliff-hanger like ending to Inkdeath. Are you ever planning to write another book about the world of Inkheart?

Dear Cornelia, thank you for accepted me as your friend on goodreads. I'm really honor. I'm your big bigg fans. I think I grow with your books from Inkheart Trilogy (my fave!), The Thief Lord, Dragon Reader, and all of your books. You made me love children fantasy literature. I dream to be a writer too like you, any word of motivation or something for me and everyone else? God Bless!

Cornelia Funke:
Cornelia, Was there ever a time when you worried your work wasn't "literary" or "smart" enough? Or (conversely?) "marketable" or "accessible" enough? Are these necessary concerns for a writer? Or do you find them stifling? When these concepts start closing in, how do you work around or through them? Thanks.
