Wren Corli asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia. When I began to read the inkheart trilogy I never realized how much I could love a book. Inkheart made me into the shy bookworm I am today. I was just wondering did you have an ending planned out for the stories or did it just sort happen while you're writing? Thanks for even reading this.

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Lalu asked Cornelia Funke:

Hallo Frau Funke, erstmal vielen Dank für Ihre Bücher! Schon in der Grundschule waren Sie meine Lieblingsautorin und in den letzten fast 20 Jahren hat sich das nicht geändert. Ich greife immer noch gerne zu Igraine Ohnefurcht, Potilla oder Drachenreiter. Zu letzterem habe ich eine Frage: Warum heißt Lung im Englischen Firedrake? Mir scheint das ein viel zu aggressiver Name für den gutmütigen Lung... LG, Stella :)
