Americans may not need to look to Great Britain for the next big YA fantasy adventure story. Aspiring writer Lin Lin of New Jersey might be the next J.K. Rowling in the making, and she needs your help to turn that prospect into a reality. Raising $5,000 in less than 30 days is a challenging task, but it needs to be done in order to get the novel into the best possible condition.
Lin has harbored a dream of becoming a novelist since the tender age of 14. When she was 17, her family moved from Mainland China to US in searching for a better life. Language barrier, culture difference, and countless life struggles did not shatter her spirit. Instead, they became the source of her inspiration, and fuel to pursue her dream.
Who says fairy tales are for young minds only? The driving force behind this Epic Fantasy Adventure Novel is to build an imaginary world that both young and old would love to visit. It is a tale of mystery, betrayal, love and hope told through the scope of a majestic setting. The story explores different aspects of love, and also deals with themes such as morality, faith and courage to challenge the impossible.
