Meanwhile here is a short introduction to my Phantom novel:

Chanson de L'ange by Paisley Swan Stewart, is a retelling of the classic novel, The Phantom of the Opera. Inspired by Jimmy , a young burn victim encountered in Paisley's childhood, and by the Phantom story in all its incarnations, the author weaves her own captivating tale of the universal struggle for acceptance and love.

Chanson de L’ange begins as 10 year old musical prodigy Christine Daae, attends her beloved father's burial on a bleak winter afternoon. Following her father's death, and having no living relatives... The orphan girl is taken to the Paris Opera House, under the care of her newly appointed guardian, the mysterious Madame Giry. Christine is enrolled in the Opera's conservatory, where she encounters a bohemian world of eccentric performers and a life dedicated to music. In the Opera's gloomy corridors and backstage chaos, the young girl struggles to recover from her violinist father's untimely death.

As winter snows melt and seasons change, Christine hears the haunting music of a violin near her father’s grave. Convinced that her father has returned from the grave.... The child opens her heart to the unseen musician.

This heavenly visitation ushers in both dreams and nightmares, as the musician slowly and methodically makes himself known.

Chanson de L’ange spans a 50 year journey; fraught with joys and sorrows, obsession... music... and madness.

This young woman will ultimately discover that not all angels have wings, and not all devils are what they seem.
