| Nancy is a Chinese American author. Nancy Yi Fan was raised in Hong Kong, China. At the age of 7, she moved with her parents to the United States. She is best known for writing her novel Swordbird at age 12. Birds, a lifelong passion of the author's, provided the inspiration for Swordbird. After awaking from a vivid dream about birds at war while simultaneously wrestling with her feelings about terrorism and September 11, Nancy wrote Swordbird as a way to convey her message of peace to the world. Fan later wrote a prequel to Swordbird, tentatively called Sword Quest. It is set 100 years before the time of Swordbird and tells how Wind-Voice became Swordbird, a giant dove-like bird of peace with magical powers."There will be more books than even these, though. I am sure that there will be more books as time goes on and more ideas pop into my head," says Fan. "I believe that the forest world has a river of stories that flow without ending." During her book tour, she also announced that a next book would be called Sword Mountain. This author has been recommended by 9 other readers. | |
