Santa Maria Archives
By
James M. Sullivan

2007 - Consequences

Santa Maria is a large fictional city on the coast of Northern California with perhaps more secrets than anyone would expect from such a young city. It is much more than knowing the best coffee can be found at University Square or that the plain brown building just south of Mission Maria de Guadalupe Park is where you can find perhaps the best Chinese food on the West Coast. It is even much more than knowing whatever you happen to be looking for often shows up at Nostrum's Books, Antiques, & Curios. Bree Montgomery and Rodrigo Valencia are both beginning to learn these secrets and discovering they have some themselves and that their fate is tied up with the fate of Santa Maria and they are a bigger part of Santa Maria's history and mystery than they could ever have imagined.

2008 - Retribution

Santa Maria is a large fictional city on the coast of Northern California with perhaps more secrets than anyone would expect from such a young city. It is much more than knowing the best coffee can be found at University Square or that the plain brown building just south of Mission Maria de Guadalupe Park is where you can find perhaps the best Chinese food on the West Coast. It is even much more than knowing that there a cults and supernatural individuals living with the city. Bree Montgomery and Rodrigo Valencia have ventured into that secretive world after discovering they themselves are tied to the fate of Santa Maria. Becoming embroiled in the plots and manipulations of the hidden world of the city, the took action to thwart a plot of the Ghost Lords, a cult of mages that control the spirits of the dead. Their victory culminated with a massive earthquake devastating the city and now Bree, Rodrigo, and everyone else in Santa Maria must pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and rebuild, but a new threat is on the horizon.

2009 - Compromise

The past two years have seen great hardships and devastating losses to both the mundane and magical communities of Santa Maria. The city's guardian, Mackenzie Nolan, along with a band of friends thwarted the corruption of the Ghost Lords, but that war culminated in a destructive earthquake and the loss of the magical power of Santa Maria. With the power gone, most of the supernaturals left. It also left the city and its citizens vulnerable to a great evil, which claimed many lives in very violent ways. After many bloody battles, the evil was vanquished. The city's power has returned because of a Kindler, Rodrigo Valencia. With the city's power returned, the magical community has come back to rebuild and Rodrigo and his boyfriend, the new leader of the Gamin, plan to raise a very special baby, Helen, daughter of the late Bree Montgomery. However, the vanquished evil has left it's toll on the city and it seems an old enemy may be the only solution.
