Describe five of your heroes/heroines of your books in you eyes :

Sebastian of Rydon: He's known as Sage. He's the common sense of the Templar Vampires. The one who thinks before he leaps. He left his home to go halfway across the world in search of glory and honor. What he'd found was blood and death.
Constantine Draegon: Known as Dragon, he's more than lived up the moniker. He's survived a brutal childhood that's left him scarred both physically and emotionally. Basically, this isn't someone you want to piss off.
Lucian of Penwick: As Knight, he's all that's noble and proud. He carries the burden of guilt over his family's fate. The most devout of all the Templar Vampires, he was the last one to lose his faith and the first one to face the archangel Michael when they were damned.
Raphael de Vere: If given the choice, Rogue would rather spend his nights in the warm arms of a woman than with the cold steel of a sword in his grip. Suffering the loss of his betrothed, he went off to the holy Land in search of peace. Although easygoing, put him on the battlefield and he's every bit as brutal as the rest of the Templar Vampires.
Tristan Beaumont: He was chosen as Guardian for a reason. His sense of responsibility runs deep. He's a natural leader, seemingly born to stand at the head of army and take them to victory. With the walls of his home closing in on him, he went off to win glory on Crusade. He returned home with the stain of sin and damnation, yet also with the determination to save not only his soul - but those of the other Templar Vampires as well.

Five reasons to read your books:
