Hallie asked Cornelia Funke:

Hello again! What was the biggest obstacle in your career in writing?

Cornelia Funke The fact that I became a bestselling author. Suddenly publishers and readers have expectations - of sales numbers, themes, sequels. It was the most important thing to free myself from all of that and say: I write the stories that come to me. Even if they have only 50 readers or 1 passionate one....as long as that reader loves them as much as I do. This decision was the most important one in my career

Hi Cornelia! First off, I want to let you know that I adore your books, they always have wonderful world-building. Please keep writing! And I want to ask, will you release the Mirrorworld trilogy with the new beautiful covers in paperback? Or at least The Golden Yarn in paperback? I really really want to collect them, but I can't afford hardback :( One more thing, will there be fourth book of Mirrorworld? Thanks!
