    Words from the Author
    When I was in fourth grade, I loved to write poetry. I never considered writing a story, much less a book. My teacher, Mr. Hill,
    encouraged me to try. I tried numerous times; they would turn out to be fantasy stories full of made up cities, fairies and magic. During the last month of school, I still had not written a story felt was good enough to present.
     
    I was eight at the time when my mother bought me a book-The Most Fascinating Places on Earth. I looked through it briefly, until one caught my eye - The Eiffel Tower. I was amazed. After a second of thought, I bolted up from my seat, grabbed an index card and pen, and came out with something this.
     
         Swanilde runs across the country to her father because her stepfather is a spy.
     
         That is how I started my book-The Eiffel Tower’s Daughter. Taking trips to places like Washington D. C., Boston, and Newport Mansions had given me great inspiration. Most of the plot I came up with was during after school activities at the town’s youth center, and for that, I am forever grateful. Some other fragments of my plot were developed before I went to sleep. I would just lie still in my bed, thinking what I should write for my story next. Then all of a sudden, I would jump out of my bed and jot down every single idea that I had. The name-Swanilde was inspired from the ballet Coppeila because it sounded French.
     
         One of my greatest influences was Nancy Yi Fan, a 13-year-old writer at the time, published her first book-Sword Bird. I read her book when I was about 7. I was enthralled and encouraged to do the same.
     
         It took me about a year to write the book. I wanted to prove to myself that I could write a short story. After countless months of hard work and effort, my dream came true. This is my American dream-to get my book published at the age of ten.
     
         Through the process of writing my book, I hope to convey this message to the world-especially young people, as long as you work hard for what you want to do and put your heart into it, you will succeed in whatever you do.
