I am crazy for your books. Have read them so many times I have whole passages memorized!! Thank you for such amazing stories.

Etienne de Mendes says:

It's your comment that amazes me. A 6 year fan is something very special. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. By the way, I love your state's motto: Equal Rights, and hope to someday actually see The Devil's Tower.

Thank you for the fantastic service that you have provided me, my orders of your book 'Return of the Phantom' and the phantom pendant necklace arrived very promptly. And my recent order has arrived in good time as well. Again, thank you for your help with all of the orders, very much appreciated.

Etienne de Mendes says:

Dude, you have made the staff at this website very happy. Thank you for your kind words and for your trust in our ability to deliver! Sending you all good thoughts there in the UK.

thank you for your tribute and subport for our loss of tyroe, our family pet, god bless you!

Etienne de Mendes says:

Other than our dogs, I know of few friends so unquestioningly loyal and giving. Please don’t get me wrong – cats are great and I’ve shared my life with a few. But dogs...now dogs will give you a solid lick any time you need one. Thanks for the blessing; it’s much appreciated.

I am obsessed with the story of the Phantom of the Opera, and craved to read more after reading the original novel nearly 100 times and seeing the movie just as many times.

Your books are amazing. My copy of Return of the Phantom is now held together by duck tape. It is very loved and I have it nearly committed to memory. I love how you portrayed the characters and I love your writing style. You inspire me with your vivid description and have kindled the hopeless romantic inside of me. Please write me sometime. :)

Etienne de Mendes says:

Whew! I am profoundly humbled by your words. That anyone would commit any of my writing to memory astounds me. My working copy of Leroux’s classic is also held together by tape. (But duct tape would be better.) Let’s get you a decent copy of “The Return of the Phantom” and a commemorative button. I cannot see your email address – computer protected, so email me: etienne@returnofthephantom.com and we’ll work at where to send the items. I do not need your address, just somewhere you know you’ll receive the package. Extending you all good thoughts from the website, such a fan deserves a thank you. By the way – a very important part of my family is from Macao/Hong Kong. I’ve been playing Mahjong since I was sixteen!

I really like your style. Where are you getting such great ideas?

Etienne de Mendes says:

Thank you for the compliment. The overall plot of a novel simply occurs to me, often in a rather startling and exhilarating fashion. I’ve been a fan of Erik’s since I was eleven and though he faces obstacles aplenty in my stories, he overcomes them. Working through a specific scene is achieved by blocking out the world and mentally putting myself into 360 degrees of the action. As to the writing style, that’s just me hacking away at the computer. Thanks again! You made the “Guest Book” a baker’s dozen!

I am Phantom obsessed lately. After reading Susan Kay's book, I HAD to find another so I was trolling around at Amazon and found your books and the link to your site. I am not a person with a lot of time and am already back-logged with books I want to read, so I'm careful what I choose to tackle. We'll see. I do love what you've done with your site. Best of luck to you.

Etienne de Mendes says:

Thanks for the compliment. Kay's book is excellent right up to the point that Erik does morphine - no Phantom relying on his instincts to survive would cloud them with a chemical. He's too smart and knows better. Kay's book is still a very solid, very entertaining read. In my novels Erik and Christine recover their relationship. Staying together becomes very precious.

I got a set of your books for Christmas, from my daughter because she knows I love Phantom of the Opera. We visited a stand you had at the Carlsbad Street Fair in November and that is where we saw the books. I just finished the first one and it took me two days of almost non-stop reading. Sooo good. I am just started Book two. I have a list of people who already want to borrow my books. Thanks for your writings. I am enjoying the books so much. You are awesome.

Etienne de Mendes says:

You're about to get your wish, the fourth book will be published soon. By all means, please enter the contest!

Susan says:

Went to the Carlsbad St. Fair again looking for Book #4 but it is still not available. Can hardly wait for it to be ready so I can read it. You are a talented writer. If only I had some writing talent of my own, I would have entered your contest so I could have a signed copy. Hugs :)))

Thank you for these kind words. I wouldn't mind if we started a romantic revolution in this country. Adults need love. Have to tell you that when the staff members here in the office read your comments, a cheer went up! You made their day. Thanks again.

Hi Mary~ Great to hear from you! Thanks for sweeping the dust off the guestbook's pages! Please feel free to email me anytime you like - always enjoy conversing with you. We are probably going to set up a blog on the site...if we can figure out how to do it. Just a little befuddled. Happy Holidays!

I am a Phantom Phan and read everything about The Phantom of the Opera. Your stories are riviting. I couldn't put the books down once I started reading. My favorite is the newest, The Tale of the Bloodline. What a great idea to bring the characters into the 21st century. I see, on your web site, that there's more to come. I wait with baited breath.

Anonymous says:

Hawaii, huh? Very cool. I too am a Phantom of the Opera fanatic. Thanks for your thoughts about the third novel. Did you know that sea sponges actually possess 70% of human DNA?Weird but true, and only recently made known to the public. Check out the opening of chapter seven.
