Dear Friends:
       My name is Yang Yuntao. And my English name is Mark. I am a Chinese boy, aged 14. I am now living in Qingdao, a beautiful city of Shandong province in the north of China. I began to make up and tell stories at the age of six. When I was 12 years old, I set out to write a novel named Aventure Star Island Kingdom. For two years or so, the book is finished. Now it has been published in my country and interests a large number of boys and girls.
       To be honest, my purpose is that I want to know whether you can give me some good ideas or a direct hand to find a publisher in America for my new book. If possible, the city of Miami, Florida, is the best choice. Why should I cherish my book to be published in the U.S? Here are two reasons.
        Firstly, I took interest in America and I liked beaches and sea very much when I was a little boy,so, I want to write a book describing three children of Miami make an adventure in an unknown place and I name my book Aventure Star Island Kingdom.
        Secondly, maybe the key point that encourages me to do the work is that this is a real bridge for friendship connecting Chinese boys and girls with American boys and girls. Now I am 16 years old and get to know that China and America are two great nations in the world.And I know that Miami is the Friendly Co-operative Cities of Qingdao. As a boy, I truly desire our two countries were united in the near future for we all want to embrace a peaceful world. Do you feel I am so na?ve or what I say makes sense? Anyway that is my cry from the bottom of my heart.
        Now,I am translating my book into an English version.I strongly believe that you will enjoy it. In a word, this book is written by a boy and it is for kids and peace.
         If you are interested in my novel, please contact me. My email address: xhyyt@sina.com or you can land my weblog: http://blog.sina.com.cn/xingdao0123.

Sincerely
Yuntao, Mark

P.S.:The novel is mainly made up of three parts: A Magic Ruby, A War of Time, and A Trip on a Forgotten Land.
      And Here is my novel's summary:The first part narrates three ordinary children from Miami get to Star Island Kingdom, after each of them receives the same strange letter from the Kingdom, which they don’t know exactly. In the odd world, when the three children get to know that there happens an armed rebellion, that to their surprise, they are the Saviors to the country whose emperor was imprisoned by one of his chief minister, whose monicker is Scar, and that only with the help of the Ruby for peace and holy sword，they can defeat the rebel forces and rebuild a peaceful kingdom, the three children start out for the two magic weapons, companioned by captain Blat of Royal Guard, magician Ivan and prophet Chloe. They know the Ruby is now in Scar’s hand, while the sword is missing. Finally they get them and defeat the rebels but Scar, the head of the rebels run away.
       Driving Scar away, the Star Island Kingdom resume peace, and the three kids return to the earth. One day, however, they hear a woman’s voice, telling them that the Kingdom is being destroyed by an evil power, so they land on the Kingdom again. A native presbyter tells them the truth that all is done by another earthman named Kroger. He reaches the Kingdom by cheating the Statue of Goddess and steals the wand. To take the wand back, they launch a fierce war against Kroger. In the end a psychic sapphire wakens Spirit Gabby and seals Kroger in the lightning. The Star Island Kingdom embraces peace again.
       In the third part, the novel tells the Star Island Kingdom is attacked by a ghost called Carbunch. He kills nearly all the Haimoners, and the land where they live is hardly remembered. Invited by Gabby, the three kids come to the Kingdom a third time. At the urgent moment when Spirit Gabby will be defeated by Carbunch, at last from the only Haimoner, the three kids find the chinkon emerald, which is the only secret weapon to beat Carbunch, and solidifies him permanently.
