My first novel called Through the Looking Glass included a lot of characters based on The Phantom of the Opera written by Gaston Leroux.
After much labor and review from a few editors, I rewrote the book three times, leaving only about a third of the original chapters. Of course I had to change all the names which were Phantom related and now I've entitled it A Walk Through Dimensions.
My next book Erik's Journal is a sequel to the first books. Since I'm such fan of The Phantom of the Opera in any form, I had originally based my books on Phantom related characters. Since I now work to get them published, I had to rewrite them. Currently, this book is a work in progress, but can stand alone without the reader having read either of the first books. Being a member of a Phantom based forum called Erik of Music I've posted Through the Looking Glass there and now post a chapter per week or every other week of Erik's Journal. When I get ready for publication, there will be a bit of a rewrite and the title will be Erich's Journal. Confusing at best, but be assured, you will enjoy the published versions.
Arise from Redemption is a rewrite of a book I posted on a different Phantom site under a different title. Currently this book is undergoing a major face lift to remove all Phantom related characters, background and situations. To avoid any conflicts I will not give the original title. This is a love story between a reclusive Frenchman and a beautiful English girl of nobility. The trials of love not only challenge them, but old rivals and those who vie for money and power in plot to overthrow 19th Century France.
Forgotten Tomb is another work in progress. Originally I wrote each chapter as an online writing assignment. Since I'm nearly finished, I will have to polish and complete this adventure to find the coveted Book of Thoth; a mystical tome thought to grant whoever possessed it power to rule the world. Myth or fact, this leds the reader into the realm of ancient Egyptian magick, illusions, and trechery.
