The Red Rose

 

 

 

 

 

Summary

 

At the end of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, Christine and Raoul leave the Opera, and Erik prepares to face the mob and the rest of his bleak existence.  Events, however, do not always work out as we plan.  This is my Phantom novel, consisting of nine chapters, that describe what could have happened afterward….. 

 

 

 

Rating

 

PG 13 to R, depending on chapter.

 

 

Disclaimers

 

All characters used in Red Rose belong either to Gaston Leroux, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Susan Kay, or the RUG.   In regard to the French language, Paris, the Catholic religion, history, certain songs, the Opera Charles Garnier, and Aida—all errors and liberties taken are mine.  For the purposes of this story, I am presuming that Christine is Catholic, despite her Scandinavian origins.

The Christmas Story

 

This is meant only as a simple, sweet short story.  Actually…it is pure marshmallow-cream phluff and romance. 

This is a scene set during Christmas, nine years after the end of my Red Rose novel,

and was written for those of you who have written to ask what ever became of Erik and Christine.

In actuality, this is really meant as a story to connect Red Rose with To Come Out of the Darkness, a sequel I am still writing. 

Someday it will be complete, and I will post it here as well.

 

To The Christmas Story

 

 

For those visitors who have requested a sequential order in these stories,

and for those who would like to read these Phantom offerings in the “proper” order,

I have written a definitive chronological order in which they are set,

with appropriate notes where the major works would fit in.
