Nathan Allen Pinard, and Bonnie Anne Pinard, are the mother-son team behind Immortal Aria. The Angel’s Song (translated from the French, Chanson de l’Ange), is the first production undertaken by IMMORTAL ARIA: A CD of original music inspired by the novel of the same name. The Angel’s Song, deftly combines Classical Crossover, Pop and atmospheric musical stylings to produce a uniquely transportive, cinematic listening experience.
Nathan Allen Pinard, has won acclaim as composer for video game soundtracks, Gemini Rue and Technobabylon. Bonnie Anne Pinard, is a classically trained vocalist, novelist and songwriter; whose popular novel series Chanson de l’Ange, is penned under Paisley Swan Stewart.
In the year 2005 when Paisley Swan Stewart, (aka: Bonnie Anne Pinard), began writing Chanson de l’Ange, her Phantom of the Opera, inspired novel series, she penned pseudo song lyrics to enrich the opera scenes depicted throughout her story. She then composed a soaring melody for the first of these, the Chanson de l’Ange aria. At the time, her son, composer Nathan Allen Pinard, was recovering from a critical illness that had derailed his music career for over two years. As his mom, Bonnie Anne was hopeful that investing his energy in music again would revitalize her son’s emotional and physical health, so she asked him to compose an orchestral accompaniment. Nathan Allen Pinard, took up the challenge and the previously dark, silent studio once again resounded with music, resulting in The Angel’s Song, a ten track album of original vocal and orchestral music, drawn from the pages of Paisley’s epic novel series.
The Angel’s Song is available for preorder at http://www.immortalaria.bandcamp.com

Greetings fans and friends,
I know it has been a very long time since I posted anything on this site. In fact, I have been thinking about shutting it down, given that the focus of my life has changed drastically. I have neglected those of you who at one time did follow my writings here, but real life is now my priority.
My husband is in the mild-moderate stage of Alzheimer’s disease, and although he is still very much present and with me–he does require my care and attention most of the time. In addition to being his full-time caregiver, I have been fighting severe anxiety and depression for the past 3 years. When everything started to spin out of control over the last few months, I decided it was time to seek professional help and I am currently taking prescription medication for the condition.
I continue to find outlets for my creativity on a limited basis, but my writing is now focused on a blog where I journal my husband’s experiences and thoughts, and write from my point of view as his caregiver and wife. I had hoped to follow through with the new novel I started working on a couple of years ago, but I find it very difficult to concentrate my limited energy on such a large undertaking. For now that novel is on the shelf.
There are no updates about Chanson de l’Ange, which is still available through Amazon, Kindle and other booksellers. Book sales continue to surprise me and are easing the financial strain of life changes.
Nathan and I are still working on the Chanson CD as time and energy allow. In addition to his full time job, Nathan has been very busy scoring and doing sound design for a video game. He expects to get back to work on the Chanson CD after the video game launches on May 21.
I think fondly of those that have followed me from the beginning and look forward to sharing the CD release announcement here when the time comes. Meanwhile, I offer my thanks to all who have purchased and loved my Chanson de l’Ange series.
I share a photo of myself dressed as a fairy for a Renaissance fair last Summer. This is something I do for myself as an escape from troubled times. We could all use a little fairy dust in times like these, so consider yourself fairy-dusted!
The Lord Jesus Bless you all,Bonnie Anne

Free on Kindle: Book One~Orphan in Winter
As a longtime fan of The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, and as a lover of many other Phantom of the Opera adaptations in book, film, and stage-I am always excited when new Phantom of the Opera-based projects arrive on the scene! I’m especially excited when these projects are conceptualized by independent artists who possess the talent and courage to breathe new life into my favorite story.
I am excited to inform you about an “in development” Phantom of the Opera project I recently became aware of. A talented group of animators are working on a full-length animated adaptation of the Gaston Leroux’s classic. The animators are promising to create a Leroux accurate animated film, and are eager to please the fans in remaining faithful to Leroux in all aspects of the beloved novel: character development, facial features, clothing, the selection of voice actors, as well as the artwork and storyline.
The production team is asking for your feedback and YOUR financial commitment through their Kickstarter campaign, where fans may pledge their financial support and submit suggestions, as they become partners in getting this production to the big screen! Like all independent filmmakers, the artists behind this film are not being backed by a large studio, so they require the help of supporters to develop and promote this ambitious and visionary project.
Please take a look at the beautifully put together Kickstarter page for more detailed information about how YOU can get involved!
