Well, I'm literature teacher (I have a degree in Spanish Philology ), and my passion are books, art and music.
I really love The Phantom of the Opera novel/legend. I try to collect everything about it and travel to Paris to see the wonderful Opera Garnier is an obligatory task every year.^_^ I even was able to see the Opera Garnier's cellars, roof and secret places!
It all began when I was 13 years old, I read Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera novel, and since then, I felt in love with the story...the main character, the mystery, the romance, Paris : my favourite city...everything was wonderful for me.
Some months after that, I discover there was a musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based in this great book. So, I bought it and that was the beginning of my Phantom adventures.
I started to collect everything Phantom related like books, movies, musicals...My love towards the Phantom legend was growing and growing.
I've been able to meet Leroux's great granddaughter and talk with her about Phantom legend. She was very kind showing me newspapers, books and photos of Leroux and I could learn a lot from her.
And past October 06, I could be be present at the wonderful 20th Phantom Anniversary in London, where I was be able to meet Mr. Andrew Lloyd Webber who was really charming with me, Sarah Brightman, Charles Hart, Richard Stylgoe...it was gorgeous night which I'll never forget!
I created not long ago, a new special web site known in all the world:
http://www.ladyghost.com
It's the only site in internet which has all the information about the Phantom legend, musical, movies, versions, books, real facts, etc., with interviews exclusives to actors and writers so important like Robert Englund, John Owen Jones, Carrie Hernandez, Julia Möller, Marni Raab, Jennifer Hope Wills, Brad Little, Becky Meadows, Howard McGillin, Susan Kay, Sandra Joseph, Tim Martin Gleason, Anthony Crivello and more to come. I'm very proud of it!
Now I've created a blog too!

Phantom Poem by Ladyghost.
From my dark solitude...
I will wait for you !
From my cold stay...
I will miss you !
From my ethereal exile...
I will rememember you !
If you call me with anxiety...
I will listen you !
If you need beside you my shadow...
I will come !
If your tears fall slowly...
I will dry them !
When your heart be empty...
Remember me!
When your soul navigates without direction...
I will be your compass!
When your mind be myst...
My voice will be your light!
I will travel to you in the time,
I will go over the long darkness' ways,
I will confront the dangers of the forgetfulness,
I will triumph the enemies of my reality...
And I will arrive to your side for console your spirit...
Always remember that in your solitude,
I will be your support,
remember that in your dejection,
I will be your column.
I will rock you with my song,
I will hug you with my voice,
my notes will be your balsam
and my chords will involve you.
With my music your passion will return,
to your life will turn the hope,
in your face will reborn the smile
and in your heart will nest the illusion.
I will implore you just one wish:
Never forget me,
because only you support my spirit:
THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA'S SPIRIT.
From my logical and unbiased point of view, I cannot answer this question. Because if I do so, I would be placing God on a human level of understanding. God is too big for one religon. And there are people who find God irrelevant or believe that religon is a tool for fear, power and control.
From my personal and private point of view, Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Ladyghost! How are you? I hope you're well. I wish your book could come to the United States!! I would've loved to read it!! anyways, I hope you are good and well an I wish you the best for your novel!!!!

Forever and a day is how long I will love you
Until the sky turns green and the moon can't be seen
I will love you until the seas of time run dry
Until all eyes go blind and can no longer cry
No matter what you ever say or do
I'll be by your side, with you abide
Until horses have two legs and cows lay eggs
Until 5001, then some, I will love you
Until up is down and hot is cold
Until cowards turn brave and bold
Until the day is dark and night is light
Until dogs forget how to bite
That's how long I will love you
Well, any way I will love you
Just as long as you love me
So let's just let matters be.
(Norma Duncan ~aka~Mistymaiden)
I invite you to accompany me, hand-in-hand, along that divine path which leads to eternal love. It is a journey that we may make together; sharing our tears and fears along the way. Join me and we shall experience the Love of God where hope never dies, compassion never sleeps, and love is, indeed, eternal.
