Author has written 8 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Misc. Plays/Musicals, and Misc. Books.

UPDATE: 04/2019

Wow, I can't believe I'm still receiving e-mails and reviews for this story. You are all so wonderful and supportive, even after 12 years! Looking back on the story, there are so many little things I'd like to fix or update. It wouldn't change the story at all, but it would make it more polished. I'm such a perfectionist and there are so many things I've learned that have helped me grow as a writer.

It isn't going to be a simple or easy undertaking. I'm going to save the entire story as it is, of course, but at some point I will be replacing the chapters.

I've gotten a lot of messages about what transpired between Christine and Erik prior to Nathan running into them together. Once I'm through with this project, I have a few ideas for that. :)
