Dear editor, I do not know how to contact Lynn Nesbitt and was wondering if you could forward this to her?

Dear Lynn Nesbit,
My name is Melissa Arnold and I am 17 years old. In August of 2007, I completed and self published a juvenille adventure book called Redwood Mystery. The story tells about three girls who end up lost in the Sierra Nevada Mountains while searching for a buried Indian carving. They learn about having faith in God and trust in him for guidance to seek them through, but encounter numerous obstacles that test their will to survive. The story incoorporates a message of determination, courage and faith, and I have recently completed a sequel to it called Alaskan Fury, where the girls journey to Alaska and visit to remote Inuit community. An avolanche strikes the community and reveals a hidden gold mine, and the girls are the first to discover it. However, they find themselves fighting off a group of outlaws who pose as detectives and plan to steal the findings! Fiction writing is a deep passion of mine, and I am searching extremely hard to find a traditional publisher for the sequel. Self publishing is just too costly for me to keep up with. You are somebody whom I have read about in an issue of Poets and Writers Magazine and look up to. Would you be willing to help me find a traditional publisher for my book? I know that I am still young, but I am determined to reach out to people and teach them the value of reading and literature. My greatest dream in life is to have my books published and to continue to pursue writing. If you could please email me back, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
