We, at Through Phantom Eyes, are proud to bring you this fresh and exciting collection of books detailing the life of Erik, otherwise known as The Phantom of The Opera.

The thoughts and imagination of Theodora Bruns delves into the unknown facets of his extraordinary and exciting life.    

About The Author

Theodora Bruns is the mother of five daughters and grandmother of five grandsons and two granddaughters. She lives with one of her daughters in Northern California, along with four cats.

She was raised loving music and musical theater. Consequently, she could often be found attending a musical event of some sort. But there was one event that would change her life forever. During the summer of 2002, she purchased tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera performed by Brad Little in Sacramento, California and, as with all the other musical events, the music and story moved her to tears. But that performance created tears that were different. As they were shed, they traveled to her heart and there they remained and began to effect her in ways that took her several weeks to understand.

During the next two years, she sat in an audience and, with tears, watched and listened to many, many performances of Music of the Night, nearly all of them by Brad Little. When the movie came out, she also saw it many, many times, and each time her tears flowed and continued to have that same effect on her heart. Also during that two year period, she began writing her thoughts about this mysterious man named Erik and what she wanted his life to be like. She did extensive research about him and the time he lived in, and that knowledge was added to what was, by that time, several volumes about Erik’s life.

The end result? There are eight volumes, which are packed full of Erik’s emotional thoughts and adventurous life. Volumes One through Three may be the first books she's sent to the publishers, but, since there are five more volumes waiting in the wings, it's certain they won’t be her only books to rest on the bookshelves of many a Phantom enthusiasts.
