2026給美國當地出版代理商的電子信 I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Chen Wen-Han (pen name: Chen Qing-Yang), a Taiwanese writer, novelist, poet, literary critic, and screenwriter. For more than forty years, I have devoted myself to literary creation and the exploration of storytelling, with works covering fiction, poetry, literary criticism, and film and television scripts. With great respect, I would like to introduce my fantasy novel, *Paradise Hotel*, and humbly submit it for your consideration. *Paradise Hotel* is a fantasy romance novel that combines Eastern martial arts philosophy, Western vampire mythology, and mystical magical elements into a unique cross-cultural fantasy world. The story begins when Lin Xiaoyang, a Taiwanese man, arrives at a mysterious abandoned hotel beside Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Once a famous place filled with art, music, and unforgettable memories, the hotel hides secrets buried beneath its beautiful surface. As Lin Xiaoyang investigates the strange events surrounding the hotel, he discovers a connection between ancient legends, supernatural forces, and a forgotten love story that transcends time. Within the walls of the Paradise Hotel are mysterious paintings, hidden chambers, spiritual forces, and characters whose destinies are intertwined across different worlds. The novel explores love, fate, redemption, immortality, and the eternal conflict between humanity and supernatural existence. One of the distinctive features of this novel is the fusion of three major fantasy traditions: First, it incorporates the spirit of Eastern martial arts and philosophy — including inner energy, discipline, meditation, and the pursuit of spiritual transformation. The characters’ battles are not merely physical conflicts, but also struggles between desire, morality, destiny, and self-awakening. Second, it introduces elements of Western vampire mythology, reinterpreting the vampire tradition through themes of loneliness, immortality, forbidden love, and the search for humanity. Rather than portraying supernatural beings simply as monsters, the novel explores their emotional complexity and tragic beauty. Third, the novel creates an original magical system inspired by Eastern mysticism and Western fantasy traditions, where ancient symbols, mysterious powers, spiritual rituals, and supernatural abilities converge to form a richly imagined universe. I believe the appeal of *Paradise Hotel* lies in its combination of Eastern cultural depth and Western fantasy imagination. It offers international readers a story that is both visually cinematic and emotionally profound — a fantasy adventure with the heart of a love story. The novel may appeal to readers who enjoy works such as *The Night Circus*, *The Shadow of the Wind*, and fantasy romances that combine mystery, history, and supernatural elements. I understand that literary agents receive many outstanding submissions, and I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration. If you find this project of interest, I would be honored to provide a full synopsis, sample chapters, manuscript, or any additional materials at your request. Thank you very much for considering my work. I sincerely hope that *Paradise Hotel* may have the opportunity to reach readers around the world through your professional guidance. With deepest respect, Chen Wen-Han Pen Name: Chen Qing-Yang Taiwanese Writer, Novelist & Screenwriter 您好! 我叫陳文翰(筆名:陳清揚),是一位來自台灣的作家、小說家、詩人、文學評論家與電影、電視編劇。四十多年來,我始終致力於文學創作與敘事藝術的探索,創作領域涵蓋小說、詩歌、文學評論,以及影視劇本。 我懷著誠摯的敬意,向您介紹我的奇幻小說《天堂旅館》(Paradise Hotel),並謹此誠懇地提交給您審閱。 《天堂旅館》是一部奇幻愛情小說,融合了東方武學哲學、西方吸血鬼神話,以及神秘魔法元素,共同建構出一個獨具特色的跨文化奇幻世界。 故事從一位台灣男子林曉陽來到瑞士琉森湖畔一座神秘而廢棄的旅館展開。這座旅館昔日曾是充滿藝術、音樂與無數美好回憶的知名旅宿,然而在它美麗的外表之下,卻隱藏著塵封已久的秘密。當林曉陽逐步調查旅館周遭接連發生的離奇事件時,他意外發現,一段跨越千年的古老傳說、超自然力量,以及一場穿越時空、早已被世人遺忘的愛情故事,彼此緊密相連。 在《天堂旅館》的牆壁之內,收藏著神秘的壁畫、隱藏的密室、未知的靈性力量,以及命運跨越不同世界而彼此交織的人物。本書深入探討愛情、命運、救贖、永生,以及人類與超自然存在之間永恆不息的衝突。 本書最具特色之處,在於融合了三種重要的奇幻傳統: 首先,小說融入了東方武學與哲學精神,包括內在真氣的修煉、自律修行、禪定,以及追求靈性昇華的歷程。書中人物所面對的戰鬥,不僅是肉體上的交鋒,更是欲望、道德、命運與自我覺醒之間的深刻對抗。 其次,小說引入西方吸血鬼神話元素,透過孤獨、永生、禁忌之戀,以及追尋人性的主題,重新詮釋吸血鬼傳說。作品並未將超自然存在簡單塑造成怪物,而是深入描寫他們複雜的情感世界,以及帶有悲劇色彩的人性之美。 第三,本書建立了一套原創的魔法體系,靈感來自東方神祕思想與西方奇幻傳統。在這個世界裡,古老的符號、神秘力量、靈性儀式,以及各種超自然能力彼此交會,共同構築出一個層次豐富、想像宏大的奇幻宇宙。 我相信,《天堂旅館》的魅力,在於它兼具東方文化的深厚底蘊與西方奇幻文學的豐富想像力。它為國際讀者呈現一部兼具電影般視覺張力與深刻情感內涵的作品——一場奇幻冒險,同時也是一則動人的愛情故事。 我相信,本書將能吸引喜愛《夜色馬戲團》(The Night Circus)、《風之影》(The Shadow of the Wind),以及結合神秘、歷史與超自然元素之奇幻愛情小說的讀者。 我深知文學代理人每天都會收到許多優秀作品,因此由衷感謝您願意撥冗閱讀這封信,並審慎考慮我的作品。若您對本計畫感興趣,我將非常榮幸提供完整故事大綱、試閱章節、完整小說稿件,或任何您所需要的補充資料。 再次誠摯感謝您審閱我的作品。我衷心期待,《天堂旅館》能在您的專業協助下,走向世界各地,與更多讀者相遇。 謹致最誠摯的敬意! 陳文翰 筆名:陳清揚 台灣作家、小說家暨電影、電視編劇
