Hello, I'm a huge fan of your work and unlike most other people here, the Mirrorworld series is my favorite :) I just wanted to ask tweo things about book 4: 1. Is there going to be more 'screen time' for Jacob and Fox in book 4? They are my favorite characters and I felt quite sad when they weren't that much in the Golden Yarn compared to the other parts. 2. How is the writing on book 4 go?

Cornelia Funke :) Hello MirrorWorlder:)
I don't decide that. The story does. So far it looks as if Jacob and Fox will be at the center of things (but I admit I felt that of the Golden Yarn too) They travel to Japan, where the Fox plays a very special role so I expect this to be a very special journey especially for the shapeshifter:) I know what the story will be about but it always changes while I am writing and Book 4 has surprised me already when it revealed what (and who) I should expect to meet. I just wrote the first chapter but I am currently still finishing an edit for another book. Book 4 will be my first task from June onwards

Hello, Ms. Funke. I work at this wonderful library and our board of directors want to cut our funding in half. Many of our patrons are writing letters and signing the petition we set up to change their minds, but do you have any advice on what else we could do?

Hey Cornelia, I´m a huge fan of your books, especially Dragonrider and The Thief Lord. I also write in my free time, but I´m going through a bit of a writers block right now. Do you have any tips on how I can get out of that?

Natalie asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia, I was just wondering, have you ever considered trying to turn Inkheart into a German movie? I myself am not German, but I am learning it at school and I love Germany. Could that ever be a possibility? I must say that I thoroughly love the Inkworld series and I've read it at least once every year for 6 years (I bought it when I was 10). I just think that would be really cool. Thank you!! Natalie
