XmlWriter to write Element String with Attribute

I am using XmlWriter and I am wondering if some one ever tried to write the xml element string (leaf node) with attributes so that the output would look like

<book id='1' author='j.k.rowling' year='2010'>999</book>

instead of

<book id='1' author='j.k.rowling' year='2010'> 
    <book>999</book>
</book>

You can use WriteString...

using (XmlWriter writer = XmlWriter.Create("books.xml"))
{

    writer.WriteStartElement("book"); 
    writer.WriteAttributeString("author", "j.k.rowling"); 
    writer.WriteAttributeString("year", "1990");
    writer.WriteString("99");
    writer.WriteEndElement();                                

}
