According to emails, comments, and other sources, it appears that head of Mardi Gras Publishing that went under earlier in 2007 has started a new epublishing venture called LA Media.

The Templars have settled in the small town of Damascus situated in rural Pennsylvania. They are seeking the Daystar, a relic that is supposed to allow vampires to walk in the sun.

The major problem with this book is that there are so many questions that arise that are not answered. My initial question that went unanswered was about the world you created. Allie was supposed to be a ghost hunter but we don’t see …
