Br Emmanuel Toro LC asked Cornelia Funke:

I wanted to ask, what were the reasons for writing his books ?. What ideas used to write Inkworld? That encouraged him to write? Also, I want to thank you for all work and dedication. I love books, and your books Have Been invaluable to me. In books we find the wisdom and help, but can be Also a great treasure. Thanks

Cornelia Funke Emmanuel, I am storyteller so writing them down does to me as naturally as breathing. I don't choose the stories they choose me. Sometimes they are inspired by something I see or hear, sometimes I have no idea where they come from. The most wonderful thing is to know that readers like you will pick them up one day and make them come alive by reading them. Writing a story feels like building a house that many many people will visit and live in:)

Lisa Hofmann asked Cornelia Funke:

I'm so thrilled about the re-launch of the Reckless series. Unfortunately, I can't attend the reading at Vroman's - will there be a video? And, do you think they would ship a signed copy of any of the books to Germany...?

A Goodreads user asked Cornelia Funke:

I LOVE your books!!! I recently read Dragon Rider, and Thief Lord. When I found out that there's a sequel coming out to both of those I was exited, but when exactly are they coming out? P.S. I got Inkheart (the movie) for Christmas Exited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (your my favorite author by far!)
