Search Is On!

On behalf of Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel (as in lighthouse), I am shining my light through query letters and submissions to connect with that person and team whose own search is on for us.

I’ve learned that authors are encouraged to find the “right fit” in a prospective agent and publisher. The “right fit” applies primarily to the type of book.

Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel is a YA contemporary fiction novel. The characters live in our everyday world where weird family stuff happens, people brush their teeth anyway, and kids go to school the next morning. Georgie’s confidence is eroded by the weird family stuff, but works to regain her mojo and comes into her own power as the story unfolds.

Yet, Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel is also a YA fantasy in which another reality within this one is revealed to a shocked Georgie. It is secret world where people do things, well, let’s just say, more and differently.

If your search is on for a self-help book, keep looking. Even so, Luther’s wisdom kindly guides Georgie and the others through life’s travails, and may very well apply to yours too. Metaphysicians will identify with natural laws, training sessions, and analyze Georgie’s dreams. You’ll look forward to every insight shared by Luther, particularly his private reflections.

Romance readers, cool your hot tub jets. Any romance you find will be of the budding variety. (Stay tuned for Book 2. ;) )

Readers whose own search is on for stories beyond the dark, apocalyptic worlds they’ve grown weary of will breathe fresh air in the pages of Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel. Don’t get me wrong, Georgie’s no powder puff. You’ll roll with unique action and adventure, and find yourselves rooting for Georgie and her friends in Mystic Creek—especially during a daring rescue mission!

How exciting it will be to find the agent, a real human, a person who will shepherd Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel, Luther, Georgie and all the rest into published being. Here’s to a fruitful search. The search is on!


New fiction author, Tanya D. Dawson, has written a story for the young adult in all of us. Her pending novel, Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel [working title], brightens the sometimes dark world of YA and delivers the angst and the weird in this inspiring becoming-who-you-are adventure of mystery, intrigue, and mysticism grounded in today’s world. While Andersen Light: A Mystic Creek Novel is primarily set on the West Coast, Tanya lives and works in the American Southwest.
