(view spoiler)[Hello! 1.Adderhead knew about Capricorn's past, to whom he told fake stories?Inkworld's small. 2.What happened to Capricorn's father, was he still alive in Inkspell?Mortola wasn't too old in Inkheart,but they weren't married...(it's true or Adder was just swearing?). Just a thought.Smth tells me, if he was more educated,he and Fenoglio'll get along well. Strange inner voice says in the very deep sense they're alike... (hide spoiler)]

Inkworld is not that small, Emil. And there are no social media?:) In the Middle Ages it was for sure much easier to keep secrets or pretend within a certain realm. I am also not sure the Adderhead shared his knowledge. As far as I know Capricon's father was already dead in Inkspell, but I don't know everything about my stories. They reveal a few secrets to me, but they also fool me, lie to me, trick me and hide from me at times. I only catch glimpses about their reality - and share those with my readers. And yes, Fenoglio has a few dark sides, and found it quite easy to look into his evil characters' hearts

I read 'The Thief Lord' when I was 12 in a single sitting and instantly fell in love! It was so enchanting and magical, and made me feel like I had fallen into the story myself. My question has to do with the 'Inkheart' series, though. After everything that Meggie and Farid went through, what made you decide that they weren't right for each other in the end after all?

Hi Cornelia! Firstly, I love your Inkheart series, they are in the top ten of all the books I've ever read. However, I've been wondering if you based any of the characters around a real person. Dustfinger for example. He has a really confusing personality, was he based on someone you know?
