Hi everyone

You may have already noticed it in my signature, but I wanted to post here about a novel that I've written. It's called "Deception", and it is a sequel to "Phantom of the Opera" that continues Erik's story. Here is a little blurb about it:

Following the Paris opera house disaster, Erik, the charismatic and disfigured man known as the Phantom, settled into a secluded home on the outskirts of London. He resigned himself to a life of solitude, but two years later, fate introduced him to a young woman who reawakened his emotions.

Although Mellie was a gifted composer, no one took her work seriously. She recognized Erik's brilliance and was desperate for his help. Drawn to both the man and his talent, she made a bold proposition, and he accepted. Together, they forged a unique partnership that became the talk of London society.

But when Erik's past returned to haunt him, he could lose everything he'd gained in his new life - including Mellie.

Deception is a tale of loss, healing, and ultimately of love.

I was inspired to write it after seeing Gerard's performance in the film - I couldn't stand to see 'him', ie. the Phantom, in such despair at the end. I wanted to write something that would have him find some happiness.

So, if you're interested, please take a look at the link in my signature. If anyone would like to read a longer excerpt than what is available at the Lulu website, just send me a message or email me, and I would be happy to send it to you.

Thank you,
Shirl
