Laura Fisher asked Cornelia Funke:

Hello, it's me again. I just wondered how and when you choose a title for your works. Like, when you're done, or some time earlier? It seems like a question with an obvious answer, but this brings me to my second question: do you already have a title for Reckless #4, or don't you know it yet? (I really CAN'T. WAIT. for Reckless 4.) And for last, I hope the writing on The Colour of Revenge is going well.

Cornelia Funke There is no rule Laurie. Sometimes I have the title from the beginning, sometimes it appears much later. For the fourth Mirror-Book I have THE ISLANDS OF THE FOX as my working title, but that may not stay. The COLOUR OF REVENGE is one third done, but I will get back to both books in Julya, as I am currently getting A GRIFFIN'S FEATHER ready for print:)

C.K. Flook asked Cornelia Funke:

Cornelia, I discovered you today from goodreads' newsletter. My first memoir, "Shhhh!: Sad, Shocking and Sexy" came out in June. Marketing has felt like a nightmare--do you have any suggestions? Do you use a Publicist? I think we are neighbors, I live at Venice Beach. Looking forward to reading "Inkheart".

Anna Montenegro asked Cornelia Funke:

Can I ask why you don't communicate on twitter anymore, Cornelia? Is it because some people have been rude? (I sincerely hope it's not because of this!)

A Goodreads user

A Goodreads user asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi, Cornelia! I absolutely love Inkheart, and I was wondering: Are there any songs you remember listening to while writing Inkheart, or songs that make you think of the story? I love listening to music that inspired a book while reading it!
